Exercise 11
In the tomatoes of Problem, an F 1 offspring ( RrSs ) was mated with a homozygous recessive ( rrss ). The following offspring were obtained: In the tomatoes of Problem, an F 1 offspring ( RrSs ) was mated with a homozygous recessive ( rrss ). The following offspring were obtained:   What is the most likely explanation for this distribution of phenotypes? Problem  In tomatoes, round fruit ( R ) is dominant to long fruit ( r ), and smooth skin ( S ) is dominant to fuzzy skin ( s ). A true-breeding round, smooth tomato ( RRSS ) was crossbred with a true-breeding long, fuzzy tomato ( rrss ). All the F 1 offspring were round and smooth ( RrSs ). When these F 1 plants were bred, the following F 2 generation was obtained: Round, smooth: 43 Long, fuzzy: 13 Are the genes for skin texture and fruit shape likely to be on the same chromosome or on different chromosomes? Explain your answer. What is the most likely explanation for this distribution of phenotypes?
Problem
In tomatoes, round fruit ( R ) is dominant to long fruit ( r ), and smooth skin ( S ) is dominant to fuzzy skin ( s ). A true-breeding round, smooth tomato ( RRSS ) was crossbred with a true-breeding long, fuzzy tomato ( rrss ).
All the F 1 offspring were round and smooth ( RrSs ). When these F 1 plants were bred, the following F 2 generation was obtained:
Round, smooth: 43
Long, fuzzy: 13
Are the genes for skin texture and fruit shape likely to be on the same chromosome or on different chromosomes? Explain your answer.
