Question

Any given organism has diploid set of chromosomes 48, the linkage groups and genotypes will be, respectively

• A. 12:14
• B. 24:24
• C. 24:12
• D. 24:6

Answer 1

The correct option is B 24:24

The number of linkage groups or genotype for an organism is equal to its number of homologous chromosome pairs.
For the given organism, diploid set of chromosomes = 48
So the number of homologous chromosome pairs = 24
Thus, the number of linkage groups or genotype = 24
