All genes located on the same chromosome...

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
All genes located on same chromosome form one linkage group. These genes do not separate until the crossing over.
Linked genes are the genes which occur on the same chromosome. A linkage group is defined as a parental combination of linked genes which are usually inherited together except for crossing over. The number of linkage groups found in an individual corresponds to number of chromosome in its one genome, like human has 23 linkage groups and 23 chromosomes.
