  • A
    Crossing over frequency is higher than recombination frequency
  • B
    One crossing over interferes and increases the frequency of nearby crossing over
  • C
    Crossing over frequency decreases towards the ends of chromosome

What is the reason for the absence of hybrids?

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 RedTall WhiteDwarf RedDwarf White

respectively.

Two heterozygous parents are crossed. If the two loci are linked,what would be the distribution of phenotypic features in the $F_{2}$ generation for a dihybrid cross?
