In corn the genes for tassel length (alleles T and t) and rust resistance (alleles R and r) are known to be on separate chromosomes. In the course of a routine mating check experiment, a breeder got the following results upon crossing T/t:R/r with a double recessive strain (t/t;r/r): genotype Number of progeny T/t; R/r 98 t/t; r/r 104 T/t; r/r 3 t/t; R/r 5 In addition to these data she noted that the cobs contain only about 50% of the expected kernels. Note that in corn, each kernel is the result of one mating or can be considered one progeny. Hence 50% of the matings are not producing viable offspring. Based on the location of these genes on separate chromosomes what is the expected result? Suggest a hypothesis of a genetic process that could be used to explain the potential karyotype of one of these parents. What are the actual genotypes of the parents?

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
