- As it turns out, studying banthas is too dangerous for you, andyou decide to turn your attention to a much less hostile organism,the Ewoks. You begin another project. You find that you have tocount hundreds of ewoks. You are committed to the new project, butyou secretly wonder if you shouldn’t have stuck with banthas.
You are studying two genes known to be linked, fur color andheight.
- If two genes are linked, where are they located in relation toone another in the genome?
- Do two genes showing linked inheritance have to show a relatedfunction? Why or why not?
- After you perform your cross, you get the followingresult:
725 Brown fur, short ewoks
255 Â Â Â Â Tan fur, tall ewoks
12 Â Â Â Â Â Â Brown fur, tallewoks
8 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Tan fur,short ewoks
What is the recombination frequency between wing shape and bodycolor? Show your work.
