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 link at 30 map unit. 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 sweet fruit, no spot parent, what are the phenotypes ratio expected in the their offspring

Flower color gene incompletely link to pollen length gene at 20 map unit, Blue follower is dominant over white flower and long pollen is dominant over short pollen. A plant with Blue flower and short pollen was cross with white flower and long pollen. All F1 offspring display blue flower and long pollen was allowed to cross with white flower and short pollen. What is the percent of progeny showing blue flower and long pollen?

A three point test cross was carried out in Drosophila melanogaster involving three adjacent incomplete link genes A, C and B arranged in the same order. The distance between A to C is 20 map units (mu) and that between B to C is 10 map. If pure line Drosophila AAbbCC crosses with aaBBcc to produce F1 offspring were allowed to cross with aabbcc result in 1000 offspring, which of the following genotype combination with number is correct?
Genotype |
Number |
I- Aabbcc |
a- 90 |
II- aabbCc |
b-40 |
III- AaBbCc |
c-10 |

A strain of Neurospora crassa, unable to synthesize the vitamin thiamine (t), is crossed with a strain that cannot synthesize the amino acid arginine (a). What information can be obtained from the resultant frequencies of ascospore patterns?
A) The two loci (a) and (t) are independent assortment of each other
B) Both genes are closely linked to their respective centromeres.
C) no crossovers occurred between either gene and its centromere.
D) These two gene may reside on different chromosomes.
