Principle Of Inheritance And Variation Question 398
Question: One chromosome of a homologous pair carries the genes J and K. The other chromosome of the pair carries the genes j and k at corresponding loci. Crossing over results in exchange of chromosome segments and production of gametes with new combinations of genes. A recombinant type gamete resulting from this crossover might contain:
Options:
A) Genes J and K
B) Genes j and K
C) Genes J and j
D) Genes j and k
Show Answer
