Worksheet on two and three point linkage analysis Please answer the following questions: 1. Two-point linkage analysis (test cross data) Two genes control pod length and colour in Species Q. Gene A- codes for purple colour, aa for green colour, B-codes for long pod and bb for short pod. A true breeding pure purple, long pod variety was crossed with a true breeding green, short pod variety. When the Fi plants were testcrossed with a true breeding green, short pod variety, clones with the following phenotypes were obtained: AaBb-11 Aabb 66 aaBb 64 aabb 15 a. Is there genetic linkage? (Do a chi-square test) (12 marks) b, what is the recombination %? (2 marks) c. What is the genotype of the Fi parent? (1 mark) d. What is the linkage relationship? (1 marlk) e. What is the distance between the tyo gtoes? (d mark)

Explanation / Answer

Degree of freedom n-1 = 3

chi square table value at 95% = 7.81

chi square value > chi square table value 7.81

It is linked.

2. Recombination frequency = 11 + 15 / 156 X 100 = 16.66

3. AaBb

4. Genes are in same chromosome

5. 16 cM
