Question

Independent assortment of gene does not take place when a] genes are located on fomologous chromosomes b]genes are linked and located on same chromosomes c]genes are located on non-homologous chromosomes d]all the above

Answer 1

independant assortment of gene does not take place when genes are linked and located on same chromosome.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is B) Genes are linked and located on the same chromosome.

According to law of independent assortment, alleles of two or more genes are separated independently during gamete formation.

When two genes are present in the close proximity on the same chromosome, they are called linked genes. These genes do not show independent assortment as the alleles of these genes are most likely passed together.

Thus, B) is the right answer.
