Answer:

The two genes are linked together

Explanation:

<em>The conclusion that can be drawn about the arrangement of the genes on the chromosome in the Aa Bb parent is that the two genes are linked together. That is, they do not assort independently.</em>

When two genes are linked together, the number of recombinant offspring would be more than the number of offspring with parental traits. The frequency of recombination would also not exceed 50%.

<em>Recombination frequency = number of recombinant offspring/total number of offspring x 100%</em>

Number of recombinant offspring = 45 + 45 = 90

Total number of offspring = 45 + 45 + 5 + 5 = 100

Recombination frequency = 90/100 x 100% = 10%

Hence, the two genes Aa and Bb are said to be linked together.

Tems11 [23]

The correct option is D.

A virus refers to an infectious micro organism that is made up of nucleic acid molecule that is enclosed within a protein coat. Viruses are only able to reproduce and multiply when they come in contact with living cells, in the absence of living cells they remain dormant and they do not show any sign of been a living thing. The nuclei acid molecule of a virus can be in form of a DNA molecule or a RNA molecule.
