1 map unit or centimorgan is equivalent to 1 recombination between two genes. If was Sturtevant who first suggest that frequency of recombination can be used to depict relative distance between the genes. 10 crossing over is known as Morgan (M)

With the help of given pedigree, find out the probability for the birth of a child having no disease and being a carrier (has the disease mutation in one allele of the gene) in $F_3$ generation. 
What is the pattern of inheritance for polygenic trait?
Genes $R$ and $Y$ follow independent assortment. If RRYY produce round yellow seeds and rryy produce wrinkled green seeds, what will be the phenotypic ratio of the F2 generation?
