An Individual Is Heterozygous for Two Linked Genes, but Whether

question 59

True/False

An individual is heterozygous for two linked genes, but whether its genotype is A B/a b or A b/a B is not known. The individual is crossed with an a b/a b individual, and among the progeny are the following:
16 A B/a b
54 A b/a b
46 a B/a b
24 a b/a b
These results imply that the genotype of the doubly heterozygous parent was A B/a b.
