NEETZoologyPrinciples of Inheritance and Variation
Select the correct statement for the given figure.
Options
- AGenes were very tightly linked (showed very low recombination).
- Bb-yellow-eyed males, long wings
- Ca-white-eyed females, miniature wings
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
D. None of the above
Step-by-step solution
For example Morgan hybridised yellow-bodied, white-eyed females to brown-bodied, red-eyed males and intercrossed their F1 progeny. Morgan and his group also found that even when genes were grouped on the same chromosome, some genes were very tightly linked (showed very low recombination) (Figure 4.11, Cross A) while others were loosely linked (showed higher recombination) (Figure 4.11, Cross B).
