Morgan while carrying 2 separate dihybrid crosses in drosophila to study the genes
that were present on the same chromosome(say X), found that genes did not
segregate independently of each other and therefore, F2 ratio deviated significantly
from expected 9:3:3:1 ratio. He found 98.7% of gametes in F1 were of parental types
& rest 1.3 % were non parental types in cross I while in cross II the % of gametes of
parental combinations & non parental combinations were 62.8% and 37.2%
respectively. Based on the above information answer the following questions:
a) Due to which genetic phenomenon as suggested by Morgan, the F2 ratio (as
stated above) deviated from expected Mendelian ratio, 9:3:3:1.
b) What term used by Morgan to explain the creation of non parental combinations.
c) Differentiate between the genetic phenomenons as identified in a) & b) above.
d) How did the „phenomenon, leading to non parental combination & its frequency‟
use by A. Sturtvent?
