Solution
The correct option is C Theory of linkage
When there are genes present on the same chromosome and are inherited together, they are known as linked genes. The theory of independent assortment could not be applied for the linked genes. The theory of linkage supported the phenomenon of linkage. This theory states that when there are genes which are located close to each other on the same chromosome, there are chances that the two genes will always be inherited together. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
