Question
In a particular plant, leaf color and leaf shape are controlled by two linked genes. Leaves of the
wild-type plant are red. A recessive mutation in this gene causes white leaves. Wild-type leaves
are pointed and a recessive mutation in this gene causes them to be smooth. The following
cross was performed:
Heterozygous red, pointed
43 white, smooth
42 red, pointed
8 white, pointed
7 red, smooth
Homozygous white, smooth
RESULTS:
What is the recombination frequency between the gene for leaf color and the gene for leaf
shape?
