Using Figure 1411 list the genotypes that would be generated

Using Figure 14.11, list the genotypes that would be generated if the white-eye and yellow-body genes were not linked but on different chromosomes. See section 14.5 YW, Yw, yW, and yw X^Y X^y and X^W X^w X^Y X^W, X^Y X^w, X^y X^W, X^y X^w Yy and Ww

Solution

Answer:

YW, Yw, yW and yw

If the genes are linked, they would be shown in superscription position. If the genes are not linked, they would be written side by side and the genes are assorted randomly due to non-linkage. So four types of genotypes, YW, Yw, yW and yw would be produced.
