The syntenic genes A and Z are linked. A cross between two parents, AAZZ and aazz, produces F1 progeny with the AaZz genotype. What are the possible arrangements of alleles on the F1 progeny's chromosomes?

The possible arrangements of alleles on the F1 progeny's chromosomes will be AZ/Az or aZ/az

Explanation:

The genotype of F1 progeny is AaZz

The allele pair of gametes would contain one allele for characteristic represented by "A or a" and other allele for characteristic represented by Z or z"

Thus, total four allele pairs will be formed.

First allele pair would be - AZ

Second allele pair would be - Az

Third allele pair would be - aZ

Fourth allele pair would be - az

Hence, the possible arrangements of alleles on the F1 progeny's chromosomes will be AZ/Az or aZ/az
