Question

in what way did t. h. morgans fruit fly data not conform to mendels law of independent assortment? in his f1 generation, morgan observed more than the expected numbers of flies with parental phenotypes. in his f1 generation, morgan observed no flies with the recessive phenotype of black bodies or vestigial wings. in his f1 generation, morgan observed equal numbers of flies for each of the four possible phenotypes. in his f1 generation, morgan observed phenotypes that did not match parental phenotypes.

Explanation:

Mendel's law of independent assortment assumes genes assort independently. Morgan found that some genes were linked on the same chromosome. In the F1 generation, he observed more flies with parental phenotypes than expected if genes assorted independently, indicating linkage.

Answer:

In his F1 generation, Morgan observed more than the expected numbers of flies with parental phenotypes.
