Do you think Mendel's laws of inheritance would have been different if the characters that he chose were located on the same chromosome?

Genetic variation is observed in sexually reproducing species.

Who coined the term 'linkage'?

In a certain plant, red flowers $(R)$ are dominant to white flowers $(r)$ and tallness $(T)$ is dominant to dwarfness $(t)$. $A$ heterozygous plant $(RrTt)$ is backcrossed with a double recessive plant $(rrtt)$. If the gene loci for colour and size are situated very close together on the same chromosome, the expected percentage of offspring could be approximately:

Tall Red

Tall White

Dwarf Red

Dwarf White

respectively.

In a diploid organism,crossing over is responsible for what?

Mendel did not recognize the linkage phenomenon in his experiments because
