To determine:

The genotype of the parental type sperm John could produce in the given cross.

Introduction:

The set of genes in our DNA that is responsible for a certain trait is termed as the genotype. If the two organisms have even the slightest difference, their gene will have different genotypes.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

The genotype of the recombinant type sperm produced by John.

Introduction:

The genetic makeup of an organism is termed as the genotype. It describes a complete set of genes of an organism.

Summary Introduction

c.

To determine:

Whether the B and D loci are linked or assort independently.

Introduction:

According to Gregor Mendel’s law of independent assortment, when two or more traits are inherited, the alleles for separate traits are transmitted to the next generation independent of each other. The assortment of one allele does not affect the selection of the other trait. When two genes are linked, they tend to be inherited together. When two genes are located on the same chromosome or occur very close to each other are said to be linked.
