Two genes, A and B, are located 30 map units apart. A mating between an individual homozygous dominant for both traits and one homozygous recessive for both traits is conducted. The F1 progeny is then test-crossed to a homozygous recessive individual. What proportion of their offspring is expected to be dominant for both traits?

35%

Explanation:

If two genes are 30 map units apart, 30% of the produced gametes will be recombinant.

A mating between an individual homozygous dominant for both traits (AB/AB) and one homozygous recessive for both traits (ab/ab) is conducted.

The F1 will be heterozygous for both genes: AB/ab.

The F1 progeny is then test-crossed to a homozygous recessive individual:

The possible offspring will be:

Since 30% of all the gametes produced by the F1 individual will be recombinant, 70% will be parental. As there are two types of parental gametes, each of them will have a frequency of 35%.

The offspring that will have a dominant phenotype for both traits has the genotype AB/ab with a proportion of 35%.

they fuse to form they have half as many chromosomes as a somatic cell of the same individual. b

answer: national resource conservation services

national resource conservation services is the us. based approach that provides technical and financial assistance for natural resource management. nrcs society in conservation of resources by involving in activities like farmland protection, flood prevention, watershed protection, urban conservation, conserves economic and environmental conditions. it conducts soil surveys and implements the policy of natural resources management on the society.
