Question

All genes located on the same chromosome:

• A. Will not form any linkage groups
  
• B. Form interactive groups that affect the phenotype
  
• C. Form one linkage group
  
• D. Form different groups depending upon their relative distance

Answer 1

The correct option is C Form one linkage group


Genes:

Genes are units of heredity, as they carry information from one generation to the next generation.

Linkage:

Genes present on the same chromosome stay combined as a group and are transmitted to the next generation. This phenomenon is called linkage. All the genes on a single chromosome form a linkage group.

Final answer :
b. Form one linkage group

Summary:

Linkage group:
All genes located on the same chromosome stay together and form one linkage group.
