The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the arrangement of linked genes in a heterozygous individual (AaBb), we need to understand the terms cis and trans arrangements. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Terms**: - **Cis-arrangement**: This refers to a configuration where two dominant alleles are located on the same homologous chromosome. For example, if we have alleles A and B (dominant) on one chromosome and a and b (recessive) on the other, this is a cis arrangement. - **Trans-arrangement**: This is the opposite configuration where the dominant alleles are on different homologous chromosomes. For example, A on one chromosome and b on the same chromosome, while a and B are on the other chromosome. - **Partly cis partly trans**: This means that some dominant alleles are on the same chromosome while others are on different chromosomes. 2. **Analyzing the Given Condition**: - The individual in the question is heterozygous for two pairs of linked genes (AaBb). - It is specified that the two dominant genes (A and B) are on one homologous chromosome, while the two recessive genes (a and b) are on the other homologous chromosome. 3. **Identifying the Correct Arrangement**: - Since the dominant alleles (A and B) are together on one chromosome, this fits the definition of a **cis-arrangement**. - Therefore, the correct answer is **(a) Cis-arrangement**. 4. **Eliminating Other Options**: - **Trans-arrangement** cannot be correct because the dominant alleles are not on different chromosomes. - **Partly cis partly trans** is also incorrect because all dominant alleles are on the same chromosome. - **More than one option is correct** is not applicable since only one option is valid. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **(a) Cis-arrangement**. ---
