After reading this article you will learn about the chi-square test and its interpretation. In genetic experiments, certain numerical values are expected based on segregation ratios involved. However, in actual field experiments exact values may not be obtained due to in-viability of certain pollen grains, zygotes, no germination of some seeds, or even death of few plants after germination. This [...]
After reading this article you will learn about:- 1. Detection of Linkage Using F2 Data 2. Detection of Linkage Using Backcross (Testcross) Data. Detection of Linkage Using F2 Data: It may be recalled that when 2 genes are located on 2 different chromosomes, they assort independently and give rise to a typical 9:3:3:1 ratio in the F2 generation assuming complete [...]
