Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Linkage studies involve analyzing how often two traits or genetic markers are inherited together. By determining the frequency of co-inheritance, researchers can estimate the likelihood of two genetic markers or traits being located close together on a chromosome. This information can help narrow down the possible location of a gene for a particular trait.
