If the two characteristics that Mendel looked at in his dihybrid cross of smooth yellow peas with wrinkled green peas had been controlled by genes that were located close together on the same chromosome, then the F2 generation Would have deviated from the 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio. The correct answer is option(d).
The F2 generation's phenotype would have differed from the expected 9:3:3:1 pattern if two genes were linked together on the same chromosome. Two genes are considered to be related if their loci are near to one another on the same chromosome. Genes that are connected recombinant more frequently than unlinked genes.
Two F1 people were crossed to produce the F2 generation (from the F1 generation). A 3:1 ratio was observed as a result of Gregor Mendel's tests across three generations (i.e. for every three purple-flower-bearing plants there would be one white-flower-bearing plant).
