The syntenic genes A and Z are linked. A cross between two parents, AAZZ and aazz, produces F1 progeny with the AaZz genotype. What are the possible arrangements of alleles on the F1 progeny's chromosomes?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The possible arrangements of alleles on the F1 progeny's chromosomes will be AZ/Az or aZ/az

Explanation:

The genotype of F1 progeny  is AaZz

The allele pair of gametes would contain one allele for characteristic represented by "A or a" and other allele for characteristic represented by Z or z"

Thus, total four allele pairs will be formed.

First allele pair would be - AZ

Second allele pair would be - Az

Third allele pair would be - aZ

Fourth allele pair would be - az

Hence, the possible arrangements of alleles on the F1 progeny's chromosomes will be AZ/Az or aZ/az
