The cross GE/ge × ge/ge produces the following progeny: GE/ge 404; ge/ge 396; gE/ge 97; Ge/ge 103.From these data one can conclude that______ . A)the recombinant progeny are Ge/Ge and gE/gE B)the recombinant progeny are gE/ge and Ge/ge C)the recombinant progeny are GE/GE and ge/ge D)the recombinant progeny are gE/GE and GE/ge E)the recombinant progeny are GE/ge and GE/ge

Question

The two parental genotypes are GE/ge and ge/ge, and the resulting progeny genotypes are GE/ge, gE/ge, Ge/ge, and ge/ge. The recombinant progeny are those that have a different combination of alleles than the parental genotypes. In this case, gE/ge and Ge/ge are the recombinant genotypes because they have a different allele combination than the two parental genotypes. Therefore, option B is the correct choice.

The Cross GE/ge × Ge/ge Produces the Following Progeny: GE/ge
