Solution

The correct option is B Linked genes

A.Polygenes – Inheritance is controlled by two or more genes in which the dominant alleles have cumulative effect, with each dominant allele expressing a part of functional polypeptide and full trait is shown when all the dominant alleles are present, is called Polygenic or Quantitative inheritance.

B.Linked genes – The tendency of some genes to inherit together is known as linkage, and the genes are linked genes.

C. Pseduoalleles - Genes are present together side by side and they produce related phenotypes are called pseudoalleles. These are distinguished from true alleles through rare crossing over.

D. Hypostatic gene – A gene whose effect are masked is by another gene is called Hypostatic gene. In the F2 generation 12:3:1 ratio.

In a dihybrid cross between two heterozygotes, AaBb x AaBb, if we get a 3:1 ratio among offspring, the reason would be Linked genes.

So, the correct option is ‘Linked genes’.
