For tall heterozygotes with antennae, the offspring are:
1 answer:
Recombinant frequency between T and A is 12%
<u>Explanation:</u>
<u></u>
Two characters are considered - height and antennae
Traits of height - Tall and Dwarf
Traits of antennae - Antennae and No antennae
<u>Given:</u>
<u />
Tall-antennae (46) and dwarf-no antennae (42) are the wild type.
Dwarf- antennae (7) and tall- no antennae (5) are the recombinants.
Total possibilities = 100
Recombinant frequency =
Recombinant frequency =
Recombinant frequency in percentage = %
Therefore, recombinant frequency between T and A is 12%

There are many ways to solve simultaneous linear equations. One of my favorite for finding integer solutions is graphing. The attached graph shows the solution to be ...

You can also use Cramer's Rule, or the Vedic math variation of it, which tells you the solution to
is given by
Here, that means
... x = (9·67-5·75)/(9·8-5·3) = 228/57 = 4
... y = (75·8-67·3)/57 = 399/57 = 7

A (graphing) calculator greatly facilitates either of these approaches.
