Mendelian genetics?

Question

In a dihybrid cross (like the ones Mendel performed with the pea plants), if the two traits of interest are controlled by genes found near each other on the same chromosome, then the F2 generation would have

A. contained no individuals that were heterozygous at both loci

B. contained only individuals that were heterozygous at both loci

C. contained 4 phenotypes in the following ratio: 9:3:3:1

D.deviated from the predicted ratio of 9:3:3:1

E.none of the above are correct

Answer 1

When genes are linked they do not follow Mendelian distribution so the ratios could be different because they did not assort independently but did have cross over events.
