In demogorgons, tan skin color (T) is dominant to green skin (t) and long legs (L) are dominant to short legs (l). F1 individuals heterozygous for both loci) were crossed with individuals that were recessive for both loci, and the following offspring were obtained. Tan skin, long legs = 43
Tank skin, short legs = 10
Green skin, long legs = 6
Green skin, short legs = 41
TOTAL = 100
What is the best explanation for these results?
A. the skin color and leg length alleles are assorting independently
B. the alleles for skin color and leg length are on separate chromosomes
C. the alleles for green skin and short legs can express the dominant phenotype
D. the skin color and leg length alleles are linked
E. the alleles for skin color are at the same locus as the alleles for leg length
