Question

Which of the following statement is correct?

Options

• Genes loosely linked on the same chromosome show similar recombinations as the tightly linked ones

• Tight linked genes on the same chromosome show higher recombinations

• Tightly liked genes on the same chromosome show vary few recombination

• Genes far apart on the same chromosome show very few recombination

Answer 1

Tightly liked genes on the same chromosome show vary few recombination

Explanation:

The process of recombining genes on a chromosome to create animals with new gene combinations is known as recombination. Morgan and his colleagues discovered that when genes were grouped together on the same chromosome, some were strongly linked while others were loosely linked. The genes that were very closely coupled had very little recombination, whereas the genes that were loosely linked had more recombination. As a result, third option is the correct answer.
