Assort

... is superfluous, I guess. The expected 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratios observed in the F2xF2 offspring assumes that the genes for the two traits assort independently of one another. (There is usually the tacit assumption that the traits exhibit simple dominant/recessive behavior, which need not ...

... that are closely linked on a chromosome. How would the genetic variation in the F2 generation probably differ from a cross in which two genes assort independently? Now, I understand what it means by true-breeding plants and crossing over and such, but I guess that I just get lost somewhere. ...

... just like MrMistery said. That reduces to 11.5:3.9:3.5:1. If this is a standard dihybrid cross where the traits are assumed to be unlinked and assort randomly, you expect to see the ratios of 9:3:3:1. So the question is, are the observed numbers consistent with the expected ones. To find out, ...
