Chapter 3, Problem 41P
Summary Introduction

To determine:  The use of the product and sum rules to calculate the proportion of progeny with one polygene dose.

Introduction. The dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele. The dominant allele is expressed in homozygous and heterozygous genotype while the recessive phenotype is only expressed under homozygous conditions.

Consider the following dihybrid testcross: B/b • E/e  ×  b/b • e/e For the progeny from this testcross, determine the relative proportions (from 0% to 100%) of each genotype if the two genes: a) are linked (dominant alleles in cis conformation) with no crossing over: Be/be: be/be: BE/be: bE/be: b) assort independently. B/b; E/e: B/b; e/e: b/b; E/e: b/b; e/e:   c) are linked (dominant alleles in cis conformation) and 20 map units apart. Be/be: be/be: BE/be: bE/be:
In the self of a polygenic trihybrid R1/r1 ; R2/r2 ; R3/r3,use the product and sum rules to calculate the proportion of progeny with just one polygene “dose.”
What are the expected phenotypic ratios from the following cross:Tt Rr yy Aa × Tt rr YY Aa, where T = tall, t = dwarf, R = round,r = wrinkled, Y = yellow, y = green, A = axial, a = terminal; T, R,Y, and A are dominant alleles. Note: Consider using the multiplication method in answering this problem
