The man with blood type A might have one of two genotypes:
1. Iᵃ Iᵃ<span>
2. </span>Iᵃ i
In this case, Iᵃ is an allele for A group, and i is an allele for 0 group.
The ABO blood type is controlled by a single gene (the ABO gene) with three types of alleles (Iᵃ Iᵇ and i)
Answer:
Explanation:
<em>Each trait of an organism is determined by discrete units called genes and individuals carry two alleles for each gene. (Mendel didn't actually discover genes though). Each gamete of an individual carries only one allele of each gene (this is Mendel's Law of Segregation).</em>
Answer:
15
Explanation:
According to linkage theory, two genes present on the same chromosome tend to get inherited together. So the gametes produced are not equal in number and parental type offspring are observed more in number than the new recombinant types.
Here, normal wings, red eyes (420) and vestigial wings, purple eyes (430) are most in number hence they are the parental type offspring.
Vestigial wings, red eyes = 80 : recombinant
Normal wings, purple eyes = 70 : recombinant
Distance between two genes in cM = recombination frequency = (total number of recombinants / total progeny)*100
= [(80+70)/(420+80+70+430)]*100
= (150/1000)*100
= 0.15*100 = 15cM
