What is the likely inheritance of alleles of two linked genes?
Options
A.The alleles of linked genes and non-linked genes segregate independently in the gametes
B.The alleles of linked genes are more likely to be inherited together than non-linked genes
C.The alleles of linked genes are inherited quicker than non-linked genes

Step-by-Step Analysis
The question asks about the likely inheritance pattern of alleles of two linked genes.
Option 1: 'The alleles of linked genes and non-linked genes segregate independently in the gametes' is incorrect because linked genes do not assort independently; their alleles tend to be inherited together due to ......Login to view full explanationLog in for full answers

A testcross is performed on an individual who is heterozygous for three linked traits. What phenotypes concerning the three genes will be found most often among the progeny?
A geneticist is studying two genes, A and B, located on the same chromosome. The distance between these genes is very small. When examining the offspring from a cross between a parent with genotype AaBb and another with aabb, the geneticist observes that alleles A and B appear together more frequently than expected by random assortment. What does this observation suggest about genes A and B?
Two genes, A and B, are located on the same chromosome. In a testcross between an individual with the genotype AaBb and one with aabb, the following offspring were produced: 380 AaBb 370 aabb 120 Aabb 130 aaBb Based on these results, what can be concluded about the relationship between genes A and B?
You are mapping genes on chromosome 9 of the giant anteater. You are studying three genes that appear to be linked. One gene is sharp claws (SC). One gene is for long tongue (LT). One gene is for grey fur (GF). The recombination frequency between SC and LT is 14%. The recombination frequency between LT and GF is 16%. The recombination frequency between GF and SC is 27%. What is the likely order of these genes with respect to one another on chromosome 9?
