Hi sam777!

I’m only in year 11, but I just learnt about linked and unlinked genes recently.

I’d be guessing that the answer is D), since linked genes are usually inherited together and the likelihood of crossing over (and, therefore, recombinants) is lower. Two of the ratios should be ‘1’, because that would be the (original) phenotypes of the parents. The other two possibility would have a ratio of less than 1, since the likelihood of recombinants is extremely low.

I hope this helped!
