In humans, the dominant allele N causes an abnormal shape of the patella in the knee (n is the
normal allele). A separate gene affects finger length, and the dominant allele B causes
abnormally short fingers, whereas b give normal length, A study focused on people who have
both abnormal patellae and short (they most likely have the genotype N/n B/b). They inherited
the N allele from one parent and the B allele from the other parent. These N/n B/b individuals
mated with normal spouses. (The spouses had no history of abnormal patellae or short fingers in
their families; they can be assumed to be homozygous normal.) 40 progeny were boom; they are
classified as follows. Normal 3 Abnormal knees and fingers 2 Abnormal knees only 17
Abnormal fingers only 18 Using the chi square test, determine whether there is significant
linkage between the B/b and the N/n gene. x^2 = P = linked? If you conclude there is linkage,
what is the distance between the two genes?
Solution
Linked genes are the genes that present on same chromosome and transmit together to next
generation. As seen in the question, in F2 individuals both the characters are segregated
independently and no cross over is there. So there genes are not at all linked genes
