Question
Select all of the following that are true about linked genes.Multiple select question.located on the same chromosomedo not assort independentlyinherited togetherproduce a phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1 in the F2 offspring of a dihybrid crossencoded the seven traits Mendel studied
Solution
The true statements about linked genes are:
- Located on the same chromosome
- Do not assort independently
- Inherited together
The other two options are not correct. Linked genes do not produce a phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1 in the F2 offspring of a dihybrid cross. This ratio is typical of genes that assort independently, not linked genes. Also, the seven traits that Mendel studied were not linked genes; they were located on different chromosomes and assorted independently.
