Question 13

Scientists crossed two plants that were heterozygous for two different genes. Both plants had the same genotype, DdEeDdEeDdEe.

The genotypes and ratios of the offspring resulting from this cross were:

DDee:DdEe:ddEE1:2:1 \begin{array}{ccccc} \text{DDee} & : & \text{DdEe} & : & \text{ddEE} \\ 1 & : & 2 & : & 1 \end{array} DDee1​::​DdEe2​::​ddEE1​

Which option could explain these observations?

Autosomal linkage

Crossing over

Epistasis

Mutation
