Imagine you do a test cross between a purple-flowered pea plant having serrated leaves (a dominant trait) and a white-flowered pea plant having smooth edges. If the purple-flowered plant is heterozygous for both traits, the expected ratio in the offspring is 1 purple-serrated:1 purple-smooth:1 white-serrated:1 white-smooth. Instead, you see 4 purple-serrated:1 purple-smooth:1 white-serrated:4 white-smooth. What is the explanation of this ratio

genes for flower color and edge shape are linked. They do not assort independently.

Explanation:

Available data:

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

this website is for anybody really not just for girls just saying, also while a lot of males are mean and you know there are the few who are kind and then there's the nice-guys but then theirs also guys like me who are shy we don't get out much because there are people like you who exist who would most likely punch a guy in the face so next time just think about things before you post them to a website where guys and girls can see your question.

they had the law tat factories that produces smoke cannot be built near residential buildings.

building of proper sewage system was done to ensure that the waste is carried away from the humans so that they do not get diseases from it.

also they built water systems to provide water in those areas which are drought prone.
