2. In a certain rose variety, thorny stems ( t) are recessive to smooth stems (T) and having white flowers () is recessive to having red flowers (R). The genes for stem thorns and flower color are located on the same chromosome. A rose homozygous for thorny stems and red flowers is crossed with a plant homozygous for smooth stems and white flowers. The F1 progeny are then crossed with plants that have thorny stems and white flowers (a testcross) to produce F2 progeny.

Can you help with 2c?

 

2. In a certain rose variety, thorny stems ( t) are recessive to
smooth stems (T) and having white flowers () is recessive to
having red flowers (R). The genes for stem thorns and flower
color are located on the same chromosome. A rose homozygous
for thorny stems and red flowers is crossed with a plant
homozygous for smooth stems and white flowers. The F1 progeny
are then crossed with plants that have thorny stems and white
flowers (a testcross) to produce F2 progeny.
The F2 progeny of this testcross are:
thorny stems, red flowers
thorny stems, white flowers
smooth stems, red flowers
smooth stems, white flowers
256
28
31
249
2a. What phenotypic proportions would be expected if the genes for thorny stems and flower
color were located on different chromosomes?
2b. What is the percent recombination between the genes for thorny stems and flower color?
2c. Is the F1 heterozygote in coupling or repulsion?
