Question

In garden pea, dwarf plants with terminal flowers are recessive to tall plants with axial flowers. A true-breeding tall plant with axial flowers was crossed with a true-breeding dwarf plant with terminal flowers. The resulting F1 plants were testcrossed, and the following progeny were obtained: Tall plants with axial flowers = 320 Dwarf plants with terminal flowers = 318 Tall plants with terminal flowers = 79 Dwarf plants with axial flowers = 83 The map distance between the genes for plant height and flower position is______cM.

Explanation

Evidence for Mendelian segregation indicates allele distribution and recombination generate phenotypic variation. Option NAT aligns with this, as it follows segregation and linkage principles, reflecting standard interpretations in genetics. This mechanism is extensively documented and reinforced by experimental data across multiple model systems and textbook discussions.
