Questions
Statement A: Genes for body color and eye color in Drosophila are strongly linked than the genes for eye color and length of wings.
Statement B: There is formation of more recombinants with respect to body color and eye color than eye color and length of wings.
detailed solution
Correct option is A
The recombination frequency with respect to body color and eye color is 1.3% which shows the two genes are strongly linked. The recombination frequency with respect to eye color and length of wings is 37.2% which shows that the genes for eye color and length of wings are loosely linked. Less recombinants are formed if the genes are strongly linked.Talk to our academic expert!
