Biology Question on Principles of Inheritance and Variation
A and B genes are linked. What shall be genotype of progeny in a cross between AB/ab and ab/ab
A
AAbb and aabb
B
AaBb and aabb
C
AABB and aabb
D
None
Answer
AaBb and aabb
Explanation
Solution
When genes A and B are linked, the genotype of progeny in a cross between AB/ab and ab/ab would typically result in two different combinations of alleles. This is because linked genes tend to be inherited together more often. So, the correct option is (B): AaBb and aabb
