As it turns out, studying banthas is too dangerous for you, and you decide to turn your attention to a much less hostile organism, the Ewoks. You begin another project. You find that you have to count hundreds of ewoks. You are committed to the new project, but you secretly wonder if you shouldn’t have stuck with banthas.

You are studying two genes known to be linked, fur color and height.

If two genes are linked, where are they located in relation to one another in the genome?

Do two genes showing linked inheritance have to show a related function? Why or why not?

After you perform your cross, you get the following result:

725 Brown fur, short ewoks

255 Tan fur, tall ewoks

12 Brown fur, tall ewoks

8 Tan fur, short ewoks

What is the recombination frequency between wing shape and body color? Show your work.

ANSWER:-

a) If two gense are linked, they will be located on same chromosome. Less is distance between two gense more will be linkage inheritance and vice versa.

b) If two gense are linkage does not necessary to show related functions. Because location has nothing to do with its function. Function lies in its coded sequence.
