Answer:

The correct answer would be - the ratio of phenotypes in an organism cross will tell if the genes are linked or not.

Explanation:

In this question, we perform a test cross with a fruit fly that is heterozygous If we perform a test cross between two parents with identical heterozygous genomes AaBb.

If there is no recombination found in the offspring of this cross it means there are no linkage of genes present.  And if there are new or recombinant phenotypes present it means that there are genes linked together.

Interesting biology question.

In order to answer this question, I hope you understand what is mitosis: cell division that creates two diploid "daughter" cells that are identical to each other. Gametes, remember, are the reproductive cells (egg cells and sperm).

If human gametes were made by mitosis, which is not true, because gametes are made in meiosis, they would simply be diploid with somatic cells. The two gametes would have 92 chromosomes, as each cell has 46 chromosomes. And after each generation, the number of chromosomes would keep doubling, which would be very weird. Remember that the normal amount of chromosomes that a human being has, is 46. Maybe humans would have mutations if that happened.
