AB - Abstract A F2 generation of over 1,000 deer mice produced by parents carrying the autosomal recessive genes silver and flexed tail in the repulsion phase consisted of about 63 per cent wild type, 21 per cent silver, 17 per cent flexed tail and 1 silver flexed tail individual. A test cross generation of 107 mice consisted of 78 per cent silver and flexed tail mice and 22 per cent non-silver, non-flexed tail and silver flexed tail mice; the presumptive non-crossover and cross-over classes respectively if linkage exists. Both these ratios deviate significantly from the ratios to be expected upon a basis of independent assortment of the genes for silver and flexed tail. It is tentatively concluded that these ratios are the result of differential, viability, some overlapping of the flexed tail class with the wild type and linkage between silver and flexed tail.
