Two genes of a flower, one controlling blue (b) versus white (b) petals and the other controlling round (r) versus oval (r) stamens, are linked and are 10 map units apart. you cross a homozygous blue-oval plant with a homozygous white-round plant. the resulting f1 progeny are crossed with homozygous white-oval plants, and 1,000 f2 progeny are obtained. how many f2 plants of each of the four phenotypes do you expect? blue-oval : white-round : blue-round : white-oval

450 = blue-oval

450 = white-round

50 = blue-round

50 = white-oval

Explanation:

Blue flower is dominant over white flower

Round stamen is dominant over oval stamen

Parent 1: Blue-oval = BBrr

Parent 2: White-round = bbRR

BBrr X bbRR = BbRr

When BbRr X bbrr ( given that the two genes are 10mu apart which means that recombination frequency is 10% ) =

Br/br = blue-oval = Parental = 45%

bR/br = white-round = Parental = 45%

BR/br = blue-round = Recombinant = 5%

br/br = white-oval = Recombinant = 5%

Hence, out of the 1000 f2 plants,

450 = blue-oval

450 = white-round

50 = blue-round

50 = white-oval

the "dirty dozen" chemicals banned in an international treaty are formally known as persistent organic pollutants, or pops. the united nations environment program provided this background on what they are and what they can do to humans and wildlife.
