Question
**Genetic Cross Problem: Exercise 7.7**

Genes *a* and *b* are 20 cM apart. An *a⁺ b⁺/a⁺ b⁺* individual was mated with an *a b/a b* individual.

(a) **Diagram the Cross**: Show the gametes produced by each parent and the genotype of the F₁.

(b) **F₁ Gametes**: What gametes can the F₁ produce, and in what proportions?

(c) **Crossing F₁ with *a b/a b***: If the F₁ was crossed to *a b/a b* individuals, what offspring would be expected, and in what proportions?

(d) **Linkage Phase**: Is this an example of the coupling or repulsion linkage phase?

(e) **Intercrossing F₁**: If the F₁ were intercrossed, what offspring would be expected, and in what proportions?
