Note that the colours are not for the genes but for that the mutations.
Mutant genes are in red. Wildtypes are in black.
All the F1 progeny are orange.
A cross of F1 × F1 is done.
Total of 10% of gametes will be recombinants.
90% gametes will be parentals.
The following shows the combinations and proportions of the zygotes (F2 offspring)
0.9 × 0.9 = 0.81 × 2000 = 1620 Parentals.
0.9 (parent 1 × 0.1 (parent 2) = 0.09 × 2000 = 180 half recombinants
0.1 (parent 1) × 0.9 (parent 2) = 0.09 × 2000 = 180 half recombinants.
0.1 × 0.1 = 0.01 × 2000 = 20 double recombinants
The following pictures show the phenotypes of the respective genotypes.
To get the orange phenotype, the offspring should at least one wildtype allele of each gene.
Orange = 810
Yellow = 810
Adding all the orange offspring:
810 + 180 + 15 = 1005
By the adding the yellows we get 995 yellow offspring.
The ratio of orange to yellow is:
1005 : 995
or
201 : 199
Understanding concepts of complementation versus F2 cross progeny' information (in this example, ...
