A cross involving two independently assorting genes gives a 9:3:4 phenotype ratio because one recessive genotype masks the other gene. Why is this not the standard 9:3:3:1 phenotype ratio?
A
Independent assortment cannot occur when any recessive allele is present.
B
Gene interaction can merge phenotype categories even when alleles assort independently.
C
A 9:3:4 ratio always means the genes are on the same chromosome.
D
The law of segregation stops applying when two genes are studied.
