Question
a linkage group includes:Question 1Answera.Only genes that never recombine with each otherb.All nearby genes on a chromosomec.It depends on the kind of crossd.All genes on a chromosome, including genes that are so far apart from each other on a chromosome that they assort independently during meiosis
Solution
A linkage group includes:
b. All nearby genes on a chromosome
A linkage group refers to a group of genes that are located close together on the same chromosome and are likely to be inherited together. These genes are physically linked and tend to stay together during meiosis because they are close to each other on the chromosome. This is why they are referred to as a 'linkage group'.
