What would be TRUE if linkage of two genes was complete?
A) All possible combinations of alleles in the offspring would be produced.
B) The genes would assort independently.
C) All possible combinations of alleles in the gametes would be produced.
D) Crossing over between the two genes would rarely occur.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Complete linkage between two genes means they are located very close together on the same chromosome, making it unlikely for crossing over to occur between them during meiosis. This results in the parental allele combinations being inherited together more frequently than not, as opposed to producing a wide variety of recombinant gametes.
