Proposed by English scientist William Bateson, this theory suggests that linked genes remain together because they tend to replicate or multiply as a unit during cell division.In other words, genes located on the same chromosome are physically close to each other and, therefore, replicate as a single unit, leading to their joint inheritance.Bateson's differential multiplication theory was one of the early explanations for the phenomenon of genetic linkage.
