Question

In a particular species of mammal, black hair (B) is dominant to green hair (b), and red eyes (R) are dominant to white eyes (r). When a BbRr individual was mated with a bbrr individual, the observed distribution of offspring was as follows: black-red 1,070; black-white 177; green-red 180; green-white 1,072. Based on these data, what is the recombination frequency?

Answer 1

0.14

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula is = total of the recombinant gene/total of all the gene

= 177+180/(1070+177+180+1072)

= 357/2499

= 0.14
