In Morgan 's experiments on linkage , the percentage of white eyed miniature winged recompbinants in `F_(2)` generation is

Options

A. 1.3
B. 37.2
C. 62.8
D. 73.2

Answer

B

Explanation

The white eye(w) is recessive to red eye (wt) The miniature wing (m) is recessive to normal wing (mt) Morgan in 1911 crossed a female white miniature with wild type male

Conclusion
∗ `F_(21)` the most frequent phenotypes for both sexes where the phenotype of parent in the original cross
∗ Non parental phenotype (white eyes with normal wings or wild eyes with miniature wing) occurred in about 37% of the `F_2` flies.
∗ Well below 50% Predicted for the independent assortment.
