The answer to Question 23 will be different if R and T are very far apart on their chromosome (and if that is true, then automatically r and t will also be very far apart on their chromosome). If it undergoes meiosis, there are four genotypes that can be produced, not just two. Why? What are the four genotypes? Which represent recombinant chromosomes? Which represent parental chromosomes? Look at Figure 16-18 for help if you need it.
