A.
complementary gene
Complementary genes are the genes which are present on different genetic loci but interact with each other to express a single character in combination. That is they both together produce a particular phenotypic trait in an individual. Supplementary genes are the genes which include two pairs of non-allelic genes.
The map distance between the genes A and B is 3 units, between B and C is 10 units and between C and A is 7 units. The order of the genes in a linkage map constructed on the above data would perhaps be
A, B, C
A, C, B
B, C, A
B, A, C
One of the following is sex-influenced character
Appearance of beard
Baldness in male
Docile behaviour of female
Low BMR in female
