Question

which combinations of traits would be possible in future generations if the genes for fur color and eye color genes are closely linked? select all possibilities.
black fur, black eyes
black fur, red eyes
white fur, black eyes
white fur, red eyes
done

Explanation:

When genes are closely linked, they tend to be inherited together more often, meaning the original combinations (parental types) are more likely. Assuming the original parental combinations were black fur - black eyes and white fur - red eyes (or similar linked pairs), the combinations that match the linked gene sets are black fur, black eyes and white fur, red eyes. The other combinations (black fur - red eyes, white fur - black eyes) would require crossing over (less likely for closely linked genes) to separate the linked genes.

Answer:

A. black fur, black eyes
D. white fur, red eyes
