Question

1. You have a line of rice that is true breeding for the recessive traits fo white rice (r) and dwarfisim (d). You cross a member of this line with an individual that is heterozygous at both loci and shows the dominant phenotypes of red grains (R) and tall height (D) yeilding the following progeny. 

417 white grains-dwarf

403 red grains-tall

95 white grains-tall

85 red grains-dwarf

a) what is the allelic configuration of the heterozygote?

b) how far are the genes controlling grain color and plant height in (cM)

c) what are the non cross over gametes

d) what are the cross over gametes

e) what genotype will result in white grains and tall heights (multplie answers)

f) if you cross a heterozygote with the same allelic configuration as above, what is the probability that the offspring will have white grain and trall height? Give your answer to number to THREE decimal places not as a percentage (e.g 0.044
