The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Linkage**: Linkage refers to the tendency of genes that are located close to each other on a chromosome to be inherited together. This is because they are less likely to be separated during the process of meiosis. 2. **Identifying the Relationship**: The question states that the strength of linkage is inversely related to the distance between certain entities. In genetics, this typically refers to genes on a chromosome. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: The options given are: - A) Genes - B) Chromatids - C) Chromosomes - D) Telomeres 4. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **A) Genes**: This is the correct option because the strength of linkage is indeed related to the distance between genes on a chromosome. The closer the genes are, the stronger the linkage. - **B) Chromatids**: While chromatids are involved in the structure of chromosomes, they do not directly relate to the concept of linkage strength. - **C) Chromosomes**: Chromosomes contain genes, but the question specifically asks about the distance affecting linkage strength, which pertains to genes. - **D) Telomeres**: Telomeres are the ends of chromosomes and do not play a role in the linkage of genes. 5. **Conclusion**: Since the strength of linkage is inversely proportional to the distance between genes, the correct answer is **A) Genes**. ---

STATEMENT-1 : Electric field at a point due to an infinite sheet of uniformly distributed charge is independent of distance between the point from the sheet. STATEMENT-2 : Electric field at a pont due to an uniformly distributed long charged rod is inversity proportional to distance between the point and rod. STATEMENT-3 : Electric field at a point due to an electric dipole is inversely proportional to the cube of distance between point and centre of dipole.

Assertion: When distance between bodies is doubled and also mass of each body is also doubled, gravitational force between them remains the same. Reason: According to Neweton's law gravitational, force is directely proportional to mass of bodies and inversely proportional to square of distance between them.
