As a biologist, you complete a test cross between fly offspring to gain information about how two genes interact. You find that 20% of these test cross offspring are parental types and 80% are recombinant types. Which of the following is true based on these results? a.The alleles of the genes in question did not go through independent assortment b.The genes in question are likely located on different chromosomes c.There is a 100% frequency of recombination in this test cross d.Most of the test cross offspring look like their parents
