BackSitus inversus is a congenital condition in which the major visceral organs are reversed from their normal positions. Investigations into the genetics of this abnormality revealed that individuals with at least one dominant allele (SI) of an autosomal gene are normal but, surprisingly, of individuals that are homozygous for a recessive allele (si), 1/2 are situs inversus and 1/2 are normal.
What genotypes and phenotypes are expected in progeny from a cross of two si si individuals?
A pea plant that has the genotype RrGgwwdd is crossed to a plant that has the rrGgWwDd genotype. The R gene controls round versus wrinkled seed, the G gene controls yellow versus green seed, the W gene controls purple versus white flower, and the D gene controls tall versus short plants. Determine the following;
What proportion of the progeny are expected to have the genotype rrggwwdd?
