Solution

The correct option is C Genes
A chromosome has two chromatids which are the copy of a newly replicated chromosome and are joined together by a single centromere. The linkage is the tendency of closely placed genes on a chromosome to stay together during inheritance. The linkage is indirectly proportional to the distance between genes, the less the distance between the genes, the less is the cross over frequency between them and the more is the linkage frequency between them. The correct answer is A.
