Question

g If the two genes are on the same chromosome and are completely linked (no recombination ever occurs between the genes during meiosis), what phenotypic ratios would you expect to find in the F2 generation

Answer 1

1 : 1 : 1 : 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two genes are on the same chromosome linked to each other and no recombination ever occurs between the genes during meiosis, then the phenotypic ratios will be 1 : 1 : 1 : 1 in the F2 generation. 1 : 1 : 1 : 1 is the phenotypic ratio in which the alleles of the two genes assort independently into gametes and no non-parent phenotype is produced because of no recombination of genes occur. Recombination of genes is responsible for the gametes different from both parents.
