Question

The term 'linkage' was coined by.

• A. T.H. Morgan
• B. T. Boveri
• C. G. Mendel
• D. W. Sutton

Answer 1

The correct option is A T.H. Morgan

Morgan observed that while crossing a set of characteristics, two genes did not segregate as per Mendel’s law. If two genes were present on the same chromosome, the probability of getting a parental combination was much higher in the next generation as compared to the non-parental combination. He termed this physical association of gene as linkage.

So, the correct answer is 'T.H. Morgan'.
