Two heterozygous parents are crossed. If the two loci are linked what would be the distribution of phenotypic features in $\mathrm{F}_{2}$ generation for a dihybrid cross?
Linkage is defined as the coexistence of two or more genes in the same chromosome. If the genes are situated on the same chromosome and lie close to each other, then they are inherited together and are said to be linked genes. For example, a cross between yellow body and white eyes and wild type parent in a Drosophila will produce wild type and yellow white progenies. It is because yellow bodied and white eyed genes are linked. Therefore, they are inherited together in progenies. (figure)
There are three genes $a,\,b,\,c$. Percentage of crossing over between $a$ and $b$ is $20\%$, $b$ and $c$ is $28\%$ and $a$ and $c$ is $8\%$. What is the sequence of genes on chromosome ?
Morgan hybridised yellow-bodied, white-eyed females to brown-bodied, red-eyed males and intercrossed their $F_{1}$ progeny. He observed that
$(a)$ $F_{2}$ ratio was deviated very significantly from the $9 : 3 : 3 : 1$ ratio
$(b)$ Both genes did not segregate independently of each other
$(c)$ Recombinant types are not obtained in $F_{2}$ generation
$(d)$ Both genes segregate independently of each other
Select the correct set of statements :
Genes $A, B$ and $C$ are linked. Genes $A$ and $B$ are more close than $A$ and $C.$ Find out the correct option for the given statements
$I.$ $A$ might be before $B$ and $C$
$II.$ $B$ might be between $A$ and $C$
$III.$ $C$ might be between $A$ and $B$
$IV.$ More crosses has occurred between $A$ and $C$ than $A$ and $B$
The distance between two genes in a chromosome is measured in cross-over units which represent
Alleles of different genes that are on the same chromosome may occasionally be separated by a phenomenon known as
