Two genes are located on the same chromosome and are known tobe 12 mu apart. An AABB individual was crossed to an aabb individualto produce AaBb offspring. The AaBb offspring were thentestcrossed to aabb individuals. What would be the predicted numbers of offspring with thefour genotypes(AaBb,Aabb, aaBb, and aabb) if the parental generation had been AAbb and aaBB instead of AABB and aabb?

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
