Given below are two statements:
Statement I: In Drosophila, the genes for white eyed and yellow bodied are loosely linked, while the genes for white eyed and miniature wings are tightly linked.
Statement II: In Drosophila, the genes for white eyed and yellow bodied show a higher recombination frequency, while the genes for white eyed and miniature wings show higher parental types.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
