Question

Individuals homozygous for CD genes were crossed with wild type (AA).
The F1 dihybrid thus produced was test crossed and it produced offsprings in the following ratio:
• AA – 950
• CD – 800
• AD – 130
• AC – 110
What is the distance between C and D genes?

Solution

The correct option is B 12 cM

Here offsprings with parental combinations
950 + 800 = 1750.

Offsprings with non-parental combinations and with recombinations
130 + 110 = 240.

Total offsprings = 1750 + 240 = 1990.

∴ Percentage of non-parental combination or recombination frequency = 240/1990 × 100
= 12%

As recombination frequency is 12%, hence distance between genes c and d is 12 m.u. or cM.
