Ans) Option (b) is correct.
When two genes with two alleles each are 30 centimorgans (map units) apart. A double heterozygote is crossed to a double homozygote. 35% frequency in the progeny will be double homozygotes.
30 centimorgan means there is a 30% chance of occurrence of
crossing over between those two genes
So what would be the chance of not a crossing over? 100 - 30= 70
%
Double heterozygote means heterozygous at 2 locations. Hence for 2
locations 70÷2=35%.
Stay safe and for any query feel free to ask in the comment section.

36. The recessive autosomal maize genes sh and bz are linked and 40 map units apart, If a plant with the genotype sh bz/ sh bz is selfed, what percentage of the progeny will be double recessive? 37. If the recombination frequency between the linked autosomal genes A and B in Drosophila is 15 percent, what phenotypic frequencies would you expect from a cross AB/ab females x AB/ab males? (There is no crossing over in Drosophila males). 38. In the...
Genes A and B are linked and 32 map units apart (A is dominant over a, and B is dominant over b). If an Ab/aB heterozygote is test-crossed and you look at 100 offspring, how many offspring recessive for both phenotypes do you expect? Answer:
In maize (corn), assume that the genes A and B are linked and 30 map units apart. If a plant of Ab/aB is selfed, what proportion of the progeny would be expected to be of ab/ab genotype? a. 30% b. 4.5% c. 9% d. 15% e. 2.25%
Gene mapping D and J are genes, each with 2 alleles. A testcross between a heterozygote individual and homozygous recessive individual is performed and the following progeny are observed: D__ J__ 52 D__ jj 46 dd J__ 48 dd jj 54 Suppose D and J are in fact linked, now consider another 2 loci P and Q, each with 2 alleles, and 2 point testcrosses for genes Q and J, P and J, then D and P are performed. P__...
(4 points) In Arabidopsis thaliana, two genes, HOT2 and STO, are involved in heat and salt tolerance, respectively. You want to make a plant that is resistant to both stresses. As a first step in the generation of this plant, you cross a true breeding plant with a mutation in HOT2 that causes increased heat tolerance with a true breeding plant that has a mutation in STO that causes increased salt tolerance. This cross produces Fi double heterozygotes that do...
Explain why two genes 50 or more map units apart on a genetic map can only result in a maximum of 50% recombinant gametes in two point cross. To answer this, ask yourself what percentage of recombinant gametes would result if the probability of crossing over in a tetrad involving these genes were 100%, as it would be if the two genes are 50 or more map units apart.
The R and P genes are 7 map units apart. RR pp is crossed to rr PP to make an F1 generation. List all possible gametes that will be produced by an F1 individual and the proportion of each type of gamete.
genes A and B are 20 map units apart. If you cross Ab/aB xab/ab, how many each progeny type would you expect if total progeny was 1000. a. AaBb(AB/ab) b. Aabb ( Ab/ab) c. aaBb(aB/ab) d. aabb(ab/ab) is b and c the parental ? would that mean that b and c are 20 ? Thanks
Consider again the hypothetical population with two genes, each with two alleles (A & a, B & b) as in question 6. If you perform a monohybrid cross of an AABB homozygote with an aabb homozygote, what is the proportion of F2 offspring that have the genotype AaBb? a.0.0625 b.0.125 c.0.5 d.0.25

A GBIGB individual is mated with a gblgb individual. a) Show the genotype of an FI offspring demonstrating linkage. b) What gametes can the Fl produce AND in what frequency? If the F1 generation mate amongst themselves, what is the frequency of GGbh F2 offspring? (show your work) c)
