Question

What is linkage? Under what circumstances can two genes be linked? Will the dihybrid ratio remain the same?

Answer 1

➡When two genes are close together on the same chromosome, they do not assort independently and are said to be linked. Whereas genes located on different chromosomes assort independently and have a recombination frequency of 50%, linked genes have a recombination frequency that is less than 50%.
