Do Linked Genes Sort Independently?


Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

Linked Genes: Genes that are inherited in tandem with the other gene(s) because they are on the same chromosome.

  1. Such genes are not independently sequenced. Instead, they are transmitted as a unit.
  2. When two genes are closely related on the same chromosome, they are not classified independently.
  3. They are connected. If genes are located on different chromosomes, they classify independently with a recombination frequency of 50%.
  4. The frequency of recombination of linked genes is less than 50%.

Final answer: Yes, the given statement is positive.
