Answer:
<h2>A) Yes, 12 mu</h2><h2>B) AaWw</h2><h2>C) 0.25%</h2><h2 />
Explanation:
As given,
Allele A for blue anthocynin.
aa for yellow kernel;
at second locus;
W produce smooth kernel,
ww for wrinkled kernel;
Parents as given are: AaWw and aaww
Progeny are:
blue smooth ( AaWw)= 1447;
blue wrinkle (Aaww)= 169;
yellow smooth (aaWw)= 186;
yellow wirnked (aaww)= 1510
a)
Recombinant progeny are 169+ 186= 355
non- recombinant progeny are = 1447+ 1510= 2957
so recombination frequency (RF)= 346/2957×100= 12.0054%
So a and w are linked genes.
They are 12 mu far away from each other.
b) Blue smooth parent= AaWw.
c) Aaww crossed with aaWw
progeny are= AaWw, Aaww, aaWw, aaww,
They all are produced in same proportion =0.25% or 1/4.
