Question 34

A geneticist crossed two diploid fruit flies that were heterozygous for two autosomal genes, G G\,G and HHH. Both parents had the genotype GgHhGgHhGgHh.

The offspring from this cross showed only three genotypes in the following ratio:

1 GGhh:2 GgHh:1 ggHH 1\ \text{GGhh} : 2\ \text{GgHh} : 1\ \text{ggHH} 1 GGhh:2 GgHh:1 ggHH

The diagram below shows four possible arrangements of alleles on the chromosomes of the parent fruit flies.
