In a Cross, the Arrangement of Linked Alleles on the Chromosomes

Question 2

Short Answer

In a cross, the arrangement of linked alleles on the chromosomes is critical for determining the outcome. When two wild-type alleles are on one homologous chromosome and two mutant alleles are on the other, they are in the coupling configuration; when each chromosome contains one wild-type allele and one mutant allele, the alleles are in repulsion.
-The following testcross produces the progeny shown: Aa Bb × aa bb → 10 Aa Bb, 40 Aa bb, 40 aa Bb, 10 aa bb. Were the genes in the Aa Bb parent in coupling or in repulsion?
