Question

For tall heterozygotes with antennae, the offspring are:________
a. tall/antennae 46
b. dwarf/antennae 7
c. dwarf/no antennae 42
d. tall/no antennae 5

Answer 1

For tall heterozygotes with antennae, the offsprings are tall/antennae 46.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recombination frequency =Number of recombinant offspring ÷ total number of offspring × 100%

Number of recombinant offspring= 46 ( number of offspring with the same genetic combination as the parent which in this case are the tall antennae TA)

Total number of offspring = (46+7+5+42) = 100

Recombination frequency= (46/100 × 100%) = 46%

What does a tall heterozygous refer to?

Being heterozygous means that you have received various versions of the same gene from each of your biological parents.

• Now, when we refer to distinct forms, what we mean basically is that there are several places along the gene where the sequence is different.
• They might be minor parts of the gene or they might actually be significant parts of the gene.
• For the sake of our discussion today, it is irrelevant.

The term "heterozygous" merely denotes the fact that your biological mother and father contributed their copies of a certain gene to you in a way that resulted in a slightly different DNA sequence.

Hence, the correct answer is tall/antennae 46.
