Answer:
The correct answer is - option A) in sweet pea plants, the gene for flower color and the gene for pollen grain shape are genetically linked.
Explanation:
In this given case the result of phenotypes are not as expected and does not follow the law of independent assortment presented by Mendel. It appears to be the case of genetic linkage as it is not following the mendelian law by producing fewer round purple offspring and long red offspring which do not satisfy the expected mendelian ratio of 9:3:3:1. Mutation can lead to failure in producing proteins but could not affect the phenotypic ratio of the plant.
Thus, the correct answer is - option A.
