Question

Select the correct statement from the ones given below with respect to dihybrid cross., Tightly linked genes on the same chromosome show higher recombinations., Genes far apart on the same chromosome show very few recombinations., Genes loosely linked on the same chromosome show similar recombination as the tightly linked ones., Tightly linked genes on the same chromosome show very few recombinations.

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Linkage is the inheritance of genes of the same chromosome together and capacity of these genes to retain their parental combination in the subsequent generation. The strength of linkage between two genes is inversely proportional to the distance between the two. This means that two linked genes show a higher frequency of recombination if the distance between them is higher and lower frequency if the distance is smaller.
