Solution
The correct option is B AaBb X AaBb Two genes are said to be linked if they are located on the same chromosome. Linkage plays an important role in determining the nature of hybridization and selection. A cross between genotype AAbb and aaBB will produce four types of gametes, AB, Ab, aB and ab and AaBbAaBb progeny is produced in F1 generation. If complete linkage is there then half of the F2 generation linkage result will be AaBbAaBb. One fourth will be AAbb and the remaining one fourth will be aaBB.
