Answer:
genes for flower color and edge shape are linked. They do not assort independently.
Explanation:
<u>Available data:</u>
- test cross between a purple-flowered pea plant having serrated leaves and a white-flowered pea plant having smooth edges.
- serrated leaves → dominant trait
- smooth edges → recessive trait
- purple color → dominant trait
- white color → recessive trait
- F1: 4 purple-serrated:1 purple-smooth:1 white-serrated:4 white-smooth.
There are two genes involved in the cross. The expected ratios are 1:1:1:1 because we assume genes assort independently. However, we see a different phenotypic distribution. When phenotypic ratios differ from the expected ones, it means that genes are linked.
To know if two genes are linked in the same chromosome, we must observe the progeny distribution. If individuals, whose genes assort independently, are test crossed, they produce a progeny with equal phenotypic frequencies 1:1:1:1. But if instead of this distribution, we observe a different one, that is that phenotypes appear in different proportions, we can assume that genes are linked in the double heterozygote parent

The flow of energy starts in in you arms. You put your hands together, and use your arms to move your hands back and forth, this is kinetic energy. Your hands rubbing together causes the molecules to bump into each other, this is friction. As the molecules bump into each other they begin to move faster, and the fast movements of the molecules is what creates heat.
