Question

R and y genes of Maize lie very close to each other . When RRYY and rryy gneotypes are hybridised , `F_(2)` genertion will show
A. Segregation in `9.3:3:1`
B. Segregation in `3:1` ratio
C. Higher number of parental types
D. Higher number of recombinant types

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C
R and Y genes of Maize lie very close to each other. When RRYY and rryy genotypes are hybridised, `F_(2)` generation will show higher number of parental types due to linkage.
