I know there is no 4 phenotypes oooo Sprint 540 PM Question
Solution
Females=ab/++ or aa+bb+
Males= ab/+b or aa+bb
aa+bb+ are mated with aa+bb
Gametes from aa+bb+= a+b+, a+b, ab+ and ab
Gametes from aa+bb= a+b and ab
Now do the dihybrid cross
a+b+
a+b
ab+
ab
a+b
a+a+b+b
a+a+bb
a+ab+b
a+a bb
a+b
a+a+b+b
a+a+bb
a+ab+b
a+a bb
ab
a+a b+b
a+a bb
aab+b
aabb
ab
a+a b+b
a+a bb
aab+b
aabb
Phenotype class 1: a+a+b+b, a+a+b+b, a+ab+b
Phenotype class 2: a+a+bb, a+a bb
Phenotype class 2: aabb
We got 3 phenotypic classes.
Question 1:
Answer is 3
Question 2:
Most frequent F1 phenotype is ++ or a+b+
Question3:
Answer is (++) (a+) (+b) (ab)
As the two genes, a and b are 10 m.u apart. They produce 10 recombinants and 90 parental combinations, if it is kept in mind, the ++ will be most frequent and ab will be least frequent.
| a+b+ | a+b | ab+ | ab | |
| a+b | a+a+b+b | a+a+bb | a+ab+b | a+a bb |
| a+b | a+a+b+b | a+a+bb | a+ab+b | a+a bb |
| ab | a+a b+b | a+a bb | aab+b | aabb |
| ab | a+a b+b | a+a bb | aab+b | aabb |
