An individual who is heterozygous for two linked genes has the genotype AB/ab, which means that the A and B alleles are in one chromosome and the a and b alleles are in the homologous chromosome. Among the products of meiosis listed, which would be the recombinant types?
Select all that apply.
a. a Bb. a bc. A Bd. A b

a and d

Explanation:

Among the products of meiosis listed, aB and Ab would be the recombinant types because recombinant gametes are gametes that are unique from the haploid gametes that made up the diploid cell.

A and B alleles are on a particular chromosome while a and b alleles are on another chromosome. During the process of gamete formation/meiosis, the possible gametes are;

While the first two gametes are parental (because they made up the original diploid cell), the last two gametes are recombinant gametes.

Hence, from the list of options, aB and Ab are the only recombinant types.

The correct options are a and d.
