The genes C and D are linked, 12 map units apart. If an individual has Cd/cD genotype, what proportion of its gametes will be Cd?
Solution
The gametes of Cd/cD are,
Cd --> 1/4 (parental); cD --> 1/4 (parental); CD ---> 1/4 (recombinant); cd ---> 1/4 (recombinant)
Given that C and D are 12 map units apart. Means the percent of recombinant gametes is 12% and the percent of parental gametes is, 88%.
Thus, the percent of Cd and cD are, 6% each.
