Abstract:
Reciprocal crosses and backcrosses were conducted between inbred Rhode Island Red and White Leghorn chickens differentiated for egg production and egg quality traits. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers distinguishing inbred lines were detected. Twenty-two polymorphic bands were found from screening 120 single 10-mer random primers of which two were consistent with sex-linked markers. Of 90 pairwise two-point linkage analyses completed for the autosomal markers, four close linkages (8.2 cM to 14.9 cM) were significantly different from zero.

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal chance to...
