When two dominant alleles are present on one chromosome and two recessive alleles on the homologous chromosome, the arrangement is called:
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Cis-arrangement (Coupling)
In the coupling or cis-arrangement (AB/ab), both dominant alleles are on the same chromosome. In the repulsion or trans-arrangement (Ab/aB), one dominant and one recessive allele are paired on each chromosome.
