It is said that Mendel proposed that the factor controlling any character is discrete and independent. His proposition was based on the:
 

1. results of the F3 generation of a cross
2. observations that the offspring of a cross made between the plants having two contrasting characters shows only one character without any blending
3. self-pollination of F1 offspring
4. cross-pollination of F1 generation with recessive parent

Two genes ‘A’ and ‘B’ are completely linked. In a dihybrid cross involving these two genes, the F1 heterozygote is crossed with a homozygous recessive parental type (aa bb). What would be the ratio of offspring in the next generation?
