  • #1 Multiple Choice
    Which of the following best explains why two genes that are physically close together on the same chromosome tend to be inherited together?
  • #2 Multiple Choice
    In a dihybrid test cross between two genes, you observe the following progeny numbers: 400 parental type 1, 400 parental type 2, 100 recombinant type 1, and 100 recombinant type 2. What is the recombination frequency ($r$) between these two genes?
