The correct option is B Lathyrus odoratus
Every individual organism bears several heritable characters which are represented by the innumerable genes present on the chromosomes. During meiosis, the chromosomes move into the gametes as units, all the genes present on any given chromosome will segregate as a group and move together from generation to generation. This tendency of the genes located on the same chromosome, to stay together in hereditary transmission, is known as linkage. The genes located on the same chromosome are called as linked genes.
The principle of linkage was discovered by Bateson and Punnet in 1906 in the sweat pea, plant, Lathyrus odoratus. However, linkage, as a concept was put forth by Thomas Hunt Morgan in 1910 based on his experiment on Drosophila melanogaster.
