**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Linkage and Recombination:** - Linkage refers to the tendency of genes that are located close to each other on a chromosome to be inherited together. - Recombination is the process by which genetic material is shuffled during meiosis, leading to the formation of new combinations of alleles. 2. **Morgan's Observations:** - Thomas Hunt Morgan conducted experiments on Drosophila (fruit flies) and noted that certain traits were inherited together, indicating linkage. ...
