You calculate map distances between genes A, B, and C based on all pairwise dihybrid crosses. When you perform the trihybrid cross to verify your results, you discover that, despite analysis of a very large number of progeny, you have only about half as many double crossover progeny as you expect. Which explanation is the most reasonable?

In a plant species, a segregating line (RR- Red, Rr- Pink and rr- white) that contains both homozygotes and heterozygotes at a locus can be made homozygous by repeated selfing for several generations. What is the proportional red flower in third generations of selfing, if the level of heterozygosity in generation '0' is denoted as 1?

In watermelons, bitter fruit (B) is dominant over sweet fruit (b), and yellow spots (S) are dominant over no spots (s). The genes for these two characteristics assort independently. A homozygous plant that has bitter fruit and yellow spots is crossed with a homozygous plant that has sweet fruit and no spots. If an F1 plant is backcrossed with the bitter, yellow spotted parent, what phenotypes and proportions are expected in the offspring?

Short hair in rabbits (S) is dominant over long hair (s). The following crosses are carried out, producing the progeny shown.

A. short X short = Progeny ( 3 short and 1 long)

B- short  X long = Progeny  (1 short and 1 long )

What is possible genotypes of the parents of  cross A and cross B respectively

The ability to taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamide is an autosomal dominant phenotype, and the inability to taste it is recessive. If a taster woman with a nontaster father marries a taster man who in a previous marriage had a nontaster daughter. What is the probability that their first child will be tasters’ girl?
