Question

How gene linkage encounters independent assortment?​

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{orange}{pink}{❥ ᴀɴsᴡᴇʀ}}$

Genes that are on different chromosomes (like the Y and R genes) assort independently.

When genes are close together on a chromosome, the alleles on the same chromosome tend to be inherited as a unit more frequently than not. Such genes do not display independent assortment and are said to be linked.
