In a plant, leaf color and leaf shape are controlled by two linked genes. Leaves of the wild plant are red (R) while a recessive mutation in this gene causes leaves to be white (r). Wild-type leaves are pointed (P), while a recessive mutation in this gene causes them to be smooth (p). For a parent plant that is heterozygous for both traits with both recessive mutations on one chromosome, what genotypes will its gametes be

The genotypes of the gametes are:

RP (parental), rp (parental), Rp (recombinant), rP (recombinant)

Explanation:

Available data:    

Parent) RP/rp ---> RP are in one chromosome, while rp in another  

                             chromosome

Gametes) RP (parental)

                rp (parental)

                Rp (recombinant)

                rP (recombinant)

small, big, or no change could occur in the phenotype. it could cause something as simple as a cats ears to curl backwards or something as frighting as death. it could also occur in the protien-coding area and have an effect on that but no effect on the amino acids. what has to occur is a changing in the hox gene or the control gene.

the answer would be 2, if crossing over doesn’t occur 2 out of 4 of the daughter cells will have that allele.

hope this : )
