Biology

The phenotypic ratio is characteristic of a typical dihybrid cross in which two genes are located on different chromosomes and assort independently.
This supports Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment, where alleles of different genes are inherited independently when they are on different chromosomes.

Option A is incorrect because linked genes do not assort independently.

Option B is incorrect because if the genes were located on the same chromosome and assort independently, recombination would be unlikely and would result in a different ratio.

Option C is correct because the independent assortment of alleles from two genes on different chromosomes gives the classic
