Question

The outcome of a genetic cross involving eye color and body type is predicted to have a 25%: 25%: 25%: 25% ratio. When bred, the organisms produced offspring with the following ratio 45%: 45%: 3%: 3%. These results are most likely due to

Answer 1

Answer:

The genes need to be on different chromosomes.

Explanation:

In the first cross, the ratios are equal at 25 percent but for the offspring, there is no balance. These results can be caused by the gene that is observed being on the same chromosomes, in which case it's effects will not be observable in the offspring.

I hope this answer helps.
