medium
Two genes $R$ and $Y$ are located very close on the chromosomal linkage map of maize plant. When $RRYY$ and $rryy$ genotypes are hybridized, then $F_{2}$-segregation wii show
A
Higher number of the recombinant types
B
Segregation in the expected $9: 3: 3: 1$ ratio
C
Segregation in $3: 1$ ratio
D
Higher number of the parental types
Solution
Law of independent assortment does not applicable when the gene of different character occupy on the same homologous chromosome, $i.e.,$ linked gene.
