Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A 12:1:1:4 ratio in a dihybrid cross suggests linkage because it deviates significantly from the expected 9:3:3:1 ratio for independent assortment, indicating that the genes are likely located close together on the same chromosome and are inherited together more often than not.
