Now, suppose that the three tomato genes from part a did not assort independently, but instead were linked to one another on the same chromosome. would you expect the phenotypic ratio in the offspring to change? if so, how? which statement best predicts the results of the cross mmddpp x mmddpp assuming that all three genes are linked? a. lack of independent assortment means that you cannot predict the frequencies of phenotypes in the offspring. b. all eight possible phenotypes would occur in equal numbers in the offspring (1: 1: 1: 1: 1: 1: 1: 1).c. all eight possible phenotypes could occur, but a greater proportion of the offspring would have the parental phenotypes. d. only the parental phenotypes could possibly occur in the offspring.

c. All eight possible phenotypes could occur, but a greater proportion of the offspring would have the parental phenotypes

Explanation:

When genes are linked they do not assort independently. Instead, the alleles on the parental chromosome will have a tendency to migrate together to the same pole of the cell. To produce gametes with genotypes different than the parentals crossing over must happen between the genes of homologous chromosomes during meiosis. However, recombination is a rare event, so the recombinant gametes will be less frequent than the parentals (those that arise when no recombination occurs between genes) and for that reason a greater proportion of the offspring will have parental phenotypes.

the truman doctrine was an american foreign policy whose stated purpose was to counter soviet geopolitical expansion during the cold war. it was announced to congress by president harry s. truman on march 12, 1947, and further developed on july 12, 1948, when he pledged to contain threats to greece and turkey.

the framers of the constitution insisted that federal judges be nominated instead of elected due to their desire to have judges above the shifting whims of the masses.

the hope, whether achieved or not, was that federal judges would only be beholden to the law and that by not having judges be elected, they would be protected if that law dictated an outcome that ran counter to popular opinion.
