1a) If you have three genes H, M, and T located on three different chromosomes and you performed the following cross:
HhMmTt x hhmmtt
How many phenotypic combinations would you see?
1b) If you have three genes H, M, and T located on three different chromosomes and you performed the following cross:
HhMmTt x hhmmtt
where H is Hairy and h is hairless; M is Mindful and m is mindless; and T is Tall and t is short.
If there were 800 offspring, how many of them would be expected to be hairless, Mindful, and Tall?
1c) Assume that three genes are linked on the X chromosome: A, B, and C.
If the parental cross was AABBCC x aabbcc, you would expect all of the F1 to be AaBbCc
If you cross these F1 progeny with a tester (aabbcc), what is a possible outcome of the percentage of the offspring will have one of the parental types assuming the genes are linked?
(You can pick any valid percentage you would like; remember percent is 0 to 100)
