Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Linkage
- Repulsion refers to the case where each homologous chromosome has one dominant and one recessive allele from the two genes.
- Linked genes sit close together (physical association) on a chromosome, making them likely to be inherited together.
- Aneuploidy is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell.
- Duplication is a particular kind of mutation (change) involving the production of one or more copies of any piece of DNA, including a gene or even an entire chromosome.
- Polyploidy is the heritable condition of possessing more than two complete sets of chromosomes.
So, the correct answer is 'Linkage'.
