Question

Morgan carried out several dihybrid crosses in fruit fly and found that

• A. Loosely linked genes show low recombination
• B. The strength of linkage between genes of white eye and miniature wing is lower than the genes of yellow body and white eye
• C. Tightly linked genes show equal amount of parental and recombinant types in $F_2$ generation
• D. All genes segregate independently of each other and the $F_2$ ratio deviated very significantly from the $9:3:3:1$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Correct answer is (b) The strength of linkage between genes of white eye and miniature wing is lower than the genes of yellow body and white eye
