In tomatoes, tall growth habit is the result of a dominant gene, D. Dwarf growth to its recessive allele, d. Smooth epidermis is due to a dominant gene P pubescent epidermis to its recessive allele p. a homozygous tall smooth vaiety was crossed with a dwarf pubescent variety, the f1 were testcrossed to dwarf pubescent. the results of the test cross were as follows.

tall, smooth-96

tall, pubescent-4

dwarf, smooth-3

dwarf pubescent-95

Are these genes linked? If so, what is the percent of crossing over?

Explanation:

Given;

Tall (D) is dominant over dwarf growth (d);

Smooth (P)  is dominant over pubescent epidermis(p).

Cross between homozygous tall, smooth( DDPP) and dwarf pubescent (ddpp);

= DDPP × with ddpp

F1 = DdPp (tall, smooth).

As given; F1  (DdPp) were crossed with dwarf pubescent (ddpp);

DdPp × ddpp

Progeny as given,

are=

tall, smooth (D_P_) -96;

tall, pubescent (T_pp) - 4;

dwarf, smooth (ddD_) - 3;

dwarf,pubescent ( ddpp)- 95.

Recombinants are= 3+4= 7

non-recombinants = 95+94= 191

Yes, these genes are linked genes.

Recombination frequency= total recombinants/ total progeny× 100

= 7/198× 100=3.535

So RF= 3.535%

true is the final answer!

sorry to break it to ya but no one can answer your question it's just

jk but i am serious about the part that most people cant answer it beacuse you did not mention the section you are talking about. but it would if you added some detail and were a bit more specific.
