Mendel explained that alleles assort independently. Assume that instead of independent assortment, the inheritance of one allele affected the inheritance of others. If you cross individuals that are AaBb, and the inheritance of a dominant allele at the “A” gene locus requires the inheritance of the dominant allele at the “B” gene locus. What is the expected phenotypic ratio for this cross? What are the possible gametes produced by each individual? What is the probability of each gamete?

Consider a chromosome that contains three linked genes A, B, and C. The recombination rate between A and B is 35%, between A and C is 20%, and between B and C is 55%. Which two genes are least likely to assort independently during meiosis?
