A university student is studying the inheritance of 2 genes of pea plants. Color of plant:  Blue is dominant (B), and yellow is recessive (b) Spikes or no spikes:  Having spikes is dominant (G), and having no spikes is recessive (g). Which of the following findings would indicate to the student that these two traits are located close together on the same chromosome? a) The traits show independent assortment b) All gametes of a double heterozygous individual (BbGg) are either BG or bg c) A double heterozygous individual has four types of gametes in approximately equal proportions: BG, Bg, bG, and bg d) Student finds that there is frequent crossing over between the 2loci

Problem)

A university student is studying the inheritance of 2 genes of pea plants.

Color of plant:  Blue is dominant (B), and yellow is recessive (b)

Spikes or no spikes:  Having spikes is dominant (G), and having no spikes is recessive (g).

Which of the following findings would indicate to the student that these two traits are located close together on the same chromosome?

a) The traits show independent assortment
b) All gametes of a double heterozygous individual (BbGg) are either BG or bg
c) A double heterozygous individual has four types of gametes in approximately equal proportions: BG, Bg, bG, and bg
d) Student finds that there is frequent crossing over between the 2loci
