Scientists study apple trees. In the fruit color gene, G leads to green apples and is dominant over red (g). S leads to sweet apples and is dominant over sour (s). They find the alleles for the two genes are arranged as shown on the same chromosome. Which of the following situations will they observe?

A. The two traits will likely be inherited together.
B. One gene will cancel out the effect of the other.
C. Both genes will have an effect on the other trait.
D. The environment will determine the traits of the apple, not the two genes.
