Consider two genes that have two alleles each. Gene 1 has allele
“E” and “e”, where E>e. Gene 2 ahs alleles “F” and “f” where
F>f. We do not know if the genes are linked. The cross EEFF ×
eeff is made, and the F1 is then test-crossed with the recessive
parent.
a. What is the genotype of the F1 and the individual used in the
test-cross?
b. Below are the progeny phenotypes and proportions from the F1
testcross. b. What are the full progeny genotypes? Which phenotypes
are parental and recombinant?
E · F 2/6 (=0.33)
E · f 1/6
e · F 1/6
e · f 2/6
c. Do the results above suggest the two genes are linked? Why or
why not?
