Question

Linkage decreases the frequency of

• A. Hybrid
• B. Dominant allele
• C. Recessive allele
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is A Hybrid

The genes that are located close to each other on a chromosome are called linked genes. The tendency of the linked genes to be inherited together is called genetic linkage. The genes that are close to each other have a tendency to be more linked than those that are farther. The more the linkage lesser will be the recombination frequency and vice a versa. Hence linkage decreases the frequency of the hybrid. Thus the correct answer is option A.
