If the two traits that Mendel looked at in his dihybrid cross of smooth yellow peas with wrinkled green peas had been controlled by genes that were located near each other on the same chromosome, then the F2 generation .a. Would have contained four phenotypes in a 9:3:3:1 ratiob. Would have contained only individuals that were heterozygous at bothlocic. Would have deviated from the 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratiod. Would have contained no individuals that were heterozygous at both loci

c. Would have deviated from the 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio

Explanation:

If two genes are linked together on the same chromosome, the phenotype of the F2 generation would have deviated from 9:3:3:1.

Two genes whose loci are close on the same chromosome are said to be linked. Linked genes have higher frequency of recombination than genes that are not linked.

Hence, while genes that are not linked assort independently to produce 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio at F2, linked genes do not assort independently and the higher frequency of recombination ensures that they standard phenotypic ratio is deviated from.

The correct option is c.

i'll try what topic lol

answer: accepted answer: aquatic animals use the oxygen dissolved in water to carry out respiration. since the amount of dissolved oxygen in water is low as compared to the amount of oxygen in the air, therefore the rate of breathing in aquatic animals is much faster than it is in terrestrial animals.
