Examine the following crosses carried out to explore inheritance of traits in pea
plants
Parent cross: rough, soft peas X smooth, hard peas F1: all rough, hard Test
cross: rough, hard X smooth, soft peas F2: 115 rough soft, 110 smooth hard, 8
rough hard, 12 smooth soft
Identify which traits are dominant, and either support or refute the hypothesis
that the traits rough/smooth and soft/hard assort independently according to
Mendel's law,

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • rough (RR or Rr) and hard (HH or Hh), are the dominant traits.
  • smooth (rr) and soft (hh), are the recessive traits

We reject the hypothesis because genes are linked, so they do not assort independently.
