The correct answer is: form one linkage group
Genes are segments of DNA that make protein and facilitate the expression of characteristics.

A chromosome is a supercoiled and superfolded packaged DNA with attached proteins. The chromosomes contains the genes for various features. If many genes are located in the same chromosome and within close proximity, the genes are considered to be linked. Sucked linked genes resist recombination during the meiotic phase of cell division in gamete formation.
