All genes located on the same chromosome

A

Form different groups depending upon their relative distance

B

Form one linkage group

C

Will not form any linkage groups

D

Form interactive groups that affect the phenotype.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
A group can be defined as a group of linked gene (on the same chromosome) and corresponds to the genome of organism, like human has 23 linkage groups, pea and Neurospora has 7 linkage groups, Drosophila has 4 linkage groups. Linkage group in a species corresponds to its haploid number of chromosomes.
