Mendel observed that some characters did not assort independently. Later researchers found it to be due to

  • A

    Crossing-over

  • B

    Linkage

  • C

    Dominance of one trait over the other

  • D

    Amitosis

In a certain plant, red flowers $(R)$ are dominant to white flowers $(r)$ and tallness $(T)$ is dominant to dwarfness $(t)$. A heterozygous plant $(RrTt)$ is backcrossed with a double recessive plant $(rrtt)$. If the gene loci for colour and size and situated very close together on the same chromosome, the expected percentage of offsprings could be approximately
