4.Principles of Inheritance and Variation
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
$1: 2: 1$
B
$3: 1$
C
$9: 3: 3: 1$
D
$1: 1: 1$
Solution
The genotypic ratio of monohybrid cross is $1: 2: 1$, whereas the phenotypic ratio is $3: 1$.
$9: 3: 3: 1$ is the phenotypic ratio of dihybrid cross (the cross made to study the inheritance of two pairs of factors or alleles of two genes).
