2. Among 2052 F2 plants of crosses of ad1 with an1, no double recessive appeared, but F3 cultures from 220 F2 an1 and ad1 plants indicated a crossover value of 4.1% (Linkage Summary, 1935, p. 32). Backcross cultures of last summer gave the following results:
Genes | Phase | XY | Xy | xY | xy | Total | % Recomb. |
Ad1 An1 | CB | 247 | 7 | 10 | 199 | 463 | |
Ad1 An1 | RB | 4 | 36 | 31 | 1 | 72 | |
535 | 4.1 |
