A)two gene interaction with novel phenotypes
B)dominant lethal

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The observation of disc, sphere, and long fruits in the offspring indicates that the parents have different alleles for two genes that interact to determine fruit shape. This results in novel phenotypes in the offspring, which is an example of two gene interaction with novel phenotypes.
