Question

. Genetic linkage leads to the production of a significantly greater than expected number of gametes containing chromosomes with ________. a) allele combinations that are different from parental combinations b) parental combinations of alleles c) mutant alleles d) dominant alleles e) recessive alleles

Answer 1

Answer is B, parental combinations of alleles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ability to transmit the alleles close together on the same chromosome together as an intact unit through meiosis is known as genetic linkage. It is also the principle that understands traits inheritance.

It is helpful in identifying the location of the genes responsible for traits and diseases.
