Question

Three independently assorting genes are known to control the following biochemical pathway that provides the basis for flower color in a hypothetical plant. Three homozygous recessive mutations are also known, each of which interrupts a different one of these steps. How would the results in the F_1 generation differ if genes A and B were linked and 20 mu apart? Additional colors would be represented in the F_1. There would be more speckled flowers in the F_1. There would be more yellow flowers in the F_1. There would be no change.

Explanation / Answer

Second option is the correct. If the A & B genes are linked and both are 20 mu apart. Then there would be more Speckled flowers appear. Upto 20% green flowers and 80% are Speckled flowers. Linked conditions and also in independent assortment conditions, the recombinant frequency is in between 0 to 50% respectively. So the second option is correct.
