Two genes of a flower, one controlling blue (B) versus white(b) petals and the other
Chapter 15, Problem 8(choose chapter or problem)
Two genes of a flower, one controlling blue (B) versus white(b) petals and the other controlling round (R) versus oval (r)stamens, are linked and are 10 map units apart. You cross ahomozygous blue-oval plant with a homozygous white-roundplant. The resulting F1 progeny are crossed with homozygous white-oval plants, and 1,000 F2 progeny are obtained. Howmany F2 plants of each of the four phenotypes do you expect?

QUESTION:
Two genes of a flower, one controlling blue (B) versus white(b) petals and the other controlling round (R) versus oval (r)stamens, are linked and are 10 map units apart. You cross ahomozygous blue-oval plant with a homozygous white-roundplant. The resulting F1 progeny are crossed with homozygous white-oval plants, and 1,000 F2 progeny are obtained. Howmany F2 plants of each of the four phenotypes do you expect?
ANSWER:Based on the given information, the genotypes and phenotypes of the parental plants are as follows:
Parental plants:
Homozygous blue-oval plant: BBRR
Homozygous white-round plant: bbrr
