Question

Genes located very close to one another on same chromosome tend to be transmitted together and are called as

• A. Allomorphs
• B. identical genes
• C. Linked genes
• D. recessive genes

Answer 1

The correct option is C Linked genes

Genes that are sufficiently close together on a chromosome will tend to "stick together," and the alleles of those genes that are together on a chromosome will tend to be inherited as a pair more often than not. This phenomenon is called genetic linkage. These genes are called as linked genes that are likely to be inherited together because they are physically close to one another on the same chromosome.

So, the correct answer is 'Linked genes'.
