Solution
The correct option is D linkage strength
Linkage strength is determined by the physical closeness of the two linked genes on a chromosome. The strength of linkage is inversely proportional to the distance between the two linked genes.
Depending upon the linkage strength, two types of linkage are as follows:
(1) Complete linkage: Genes are located very close on the same chromosome, and they are inherited together as a unit over the generations.
(2) Incomplete linkage: Genes are located distantly on the same chromosome, chances of crossing over are comparatively more, they have a tendency to separate due to recombination.
Size of the linkage group does not affect the nature of linkage.
The total number of base pairs in the genetic constituent of an organism (genome) does not decide the nature of the linkage.
