Genetic marker analysis shows that genes A, B, and C are all found on the same chromosome. A study finds that the alleles for genes A and C are almost always inherited together. The alleles for gene B assort independently of genes A and C. Which conclusion is most likely true

Answer:

The correct answer would be - Gene B must be on one end of the chromosome with genes A and C on the other.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is known that gene A and gene C are always inherited together in the next generation of cells while B assorts independently of others which means the location of the gene B is different from the other two genes A and C that are present on the same chromosome.

Most likely genes A and C are present at one end or arm of the chromosone that inherited together while gene B is located on other ends, therefore, assort independently.
