e. Gene 2 has alleles "F" and "f" where F is dominant to f. We do not know if the genes are linked. The cross EEFF × eeff is made, and the F1 is then test-crossed with the recessive parent. Note the genotypes are written without slashes and semi colons because we do not know if the genes are on the same chromosome or different. a. What is the genotype of the F1 and the individual used in the test-cross? Below are the progeny phenotypes and proportions from the F1 testcross. b. What are the full progeny genotypes? Which progeny phenotypes are the result of inheriting a parental or recombinant combination of alleles? E F 2/6 (=0.33) E f 1/6 e·F 1/6 e f 2/6 c. Do the results above suggest the two genes are linked? Why or why not? If linked, how far apart are the loci?
