Two genes R and Y are located very close on the chromosomal linkage map of maize plant. When RRYY and rryy genotypes are hybridised, then F2 segregation will show :

(1) higher number of the recombinant types

(2) segregation in the expected 9 : 3 : 3 : 1 ratio

(3) segregation in 3 : 1

(4) higher number of the parental types
