93. Read the following statements (assertion-A and reason-R)
and select the correct option.
crossed, it produced four phenotypes in the following
percentage: A: 'Factors' regulating the characters are found in pairs.
Coloured full - 44% R: The dominant characters are even expressed when
Coloured shrunken - 8% factors are in heterozygous condition.
