Chapter 4, Problem 30.26P

Summary Introduction

To determine:  The effort done to obtain the large progeny size, the genes that require most work to score and the progeny represented by one corncob.

Introduction:  Law of segregation proposes that the alternative forms of the genes that are known as alleles separate during the formation of gametes. These gametes get one of the alleles that constitute the gene. Thus, during the formation of the zygote, these independent gametes come to fuse together to provide the allele pair to the offspring.
