ANSWER:-
LINKED GENES:-
☘ Each character is determined by a pair of genes.
☘ The number of genes exceeds the number of chromosomes because many organisms contain only a limited number of chromosomes.
☘ A single chromosome carries many genes.
☘ Linked genes are linked together with specific bond.
☘ Linkage is a phenomenon of co-existence of two or more genes in the same chromosome and are called linked genes.
☘ Linked genes do not show independent assortment.
☘ The genes are located on the chromosome in a linear fashion.
☘ The genes responsible for all the seven pair characters studied by Mendel happened to be located on separate chromosomes.
☘ Linked genes are identified by performing different genetic crosses.
