E)chromosomal inheritance.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Linkage between genes on the same chromosome can disrupt the principle of independent assortment, which states that genes on different chromosomes will assort independently into gametes. Linked genes, however, will tend to be inherited together in the same gametes, leading to exceptions to independent assortment. Linkage does not affect the principles of dominance, segregation, recessiveness, or chromosomal inheritance.
