In a testcross AaBb x aabb, 90% of the progeny is like parents. Determine:
Are the genes linked?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the genes are linked in the testcross AaBb x aabb, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Testcross A testcross involves crossing an individual with a dominant phenotype (but unknown genotype) with a homozygous recessive individual. In this case, we have AaBb (heterozygous for both traits) crossed with aabb (homozygous recessive for both traits). **Hint:** Remember that a testcross helps reveal the genotype of an individual with a dominant phenotype. ### Step 2: Determine Expected Progeny Ratios ...
