Question

When the number of recombinant progeny is usually less than the number expected in the independent assortment it is called

• A. Complete linkage
• B. Incomplete linkage
• C. Complete recombination
• D. Complete independent assortment

Answer 1

The correct option is A Complete linkage

Linkage is the property of genes due to which they they remain physically associated on a chromosome. These genes are located on loci on chromosome. In complete linkage, two loci are so close together that alleles of these loci are virtually never separated by crossing over. As they are not separated, very less number of recombinant progeny are produced.

So, the correct option is 'complete linkage'.
