In a plant, leaf color and leaf shape are controlled by two linked genes. Leaves of the wild plant are red (R) while a recessive mutation in this gene causes leaves to be white (r). Wild-type leaves are pointed (P), while a recessive mutation in this gene causes them to be smooth (p). For a parent plant that is heterozygous for both traits with both recessive mutations on one chromosome, what genotypes will its gametes be

Answer:

The genotypes of the gametes are:

RP (parental), rp (parental), Rp (recombinant), rP (recombinant)

Explanation:

Available data:    

  • Leaf color and leaf shape are controlled by two linked genes.
  • Leaves of the wild plant are red (R) while a recessive mutation in this gene causes leaves to be white (r).
  • Wild-type leaves are pointed (P), while a recessive mutation in this gene causes them to be smooth (p).
  • Parent plant heterozygous for both traits with both recessive mutations on one chromosome

Parent) RP/rp ---> RP are in one chromosome, while rp in another  

                             chromosome

Gametes) RP (parental)

                rp (parental)

                Rp (recombinant)

                rP (recombinant)
