Can anyone help me with this question? I am very confused!
In corn-
coloured kernal – R
colurless – r
green plant colour – Y
yellow plant colour – yThe R and Y genes are linked. Two different plants (1 and 2) that were heterozygous for each trait – RrYy – were test crossed to plants that were homozygous for reccessive alleles. this info was gotton from that:
Coloured green -plant 1 145 plant 2- 18
colured yellow – 1-13 2-175
colourless green – 1 – 17 2- 185
colourless yellow – 1- 125 2- 22what phenotypic ratio is expected in each if the genes were unlinked
and
plant 1 and 2 were generated by crossing true breeding plants. Crossing RRYYx rryy plants generated plant 1. The parents of plant 2 had genotypes that were different from the genotypes of the parents of plant 1. What are the genotypes of parents from plant 1?Very confusing question. Any help is much appreciated.
