Study the pedigree chart given below:



What does it show?

1. Inheritance of a sex-linked inborn error of metabolism
2. Inheritance of a condition like phenylketonuria as an
autosomal recessive trait
3. The pedigree chart is wrong as this is not possible
4. Inheritance of a recessive sex-linked disease like
haemophilia

Two genes R and Y are located very close on the chromosomal linkage map of the maize plant. When RRYY and rryy genotypes are hybridized, 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 a 3:1 ratio

4. higher number of the parental types
