Options
- Adominant lethal in nature.
- Btightly linked to a gene that allows formation of large number of seeds in each plant.
- Clinked to a gene that suppresses development of axillary branches.
- Dtightly linked to a gene that suppresses development of pollen mother cells in the plant.
Correct answer
