In which two cases (listed below) is it be impossible to
identify recombination between two genes W and Z
(with alleles W, w, Z, z) if
you cross a heterozygote WwZz with a recessive homozygote
wwzz and analyze the offspring for the phenotypes. The
alleles W and Z are linked on one chromosome and
w and z are linked on the other chromosome in the
heterozygous parent and the heterozygous parent is capable of
recombination during meiosis:
1: if a single cross-over occurs between the two genes
2: if a double cross-over occurs between the two genes
3: if a single cross-over occurs outside of the region between W
and Z
4: if a triple cross-over occurs between W and Z
A) both 1 and 2
B) both 1 and 3
C) both 2 and 3
D) both 2 and 4
E) both 1 and 4
“The answer is C. Please tell me how to approach the problem and
get the answer”
