In a chromosome map of maize,two genes $R$ and $Y$ are located very close to each other. When $RRYY$ and $rryy$ genotypes are crossed,the $F_2$ generation analysis shows:

  • A
    Higher number of recombinant types
  • B
    Segregation in the expected $9:3:3:1$ ratio
  • C
    Higher number of $3:1$ ratio
  • D
    Higher number of parental types
