In maize, coloured endosprem (C) is dominant over colourless (c) , and full endosperm (R) is dominant over shrunken (r). When a dihybrid of `F_(1)` generation was test crossed, it produced four phenotypes in the following percentage : Coloured full - 48 % Coloured shrunken - 5 % Coloured full - 7 % Colourless shrunken - 40 % From this data, what will be the distance between two non-allelic genes ?A. 48 unitsB. 5 unitsC. 7 unitsD. 12 units

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Given that recombinat percentage is 7 % and 5 % therefore, total recombinants would be `7 + 5 = 12 %`. It is known that one map unit is the distance that yields `1 %` recombinant chromosomes. Hence distance between two non-allelic genes is 12 map units.
