Question

The farther sort two genes are located on a chromosome

Answer 1

Considering the answers; A) Less likely they are to be inherited together. B) Less likely they are to assort independently. C) Less likely they are to be separated by a crossover during meiosis. D) More likely they are to be linked. The correct answer would be; A. Less likely they are to be inherited together. Genes are found in a chromosome at a location called the gen locus. Linked genes sit close together on a chromosomes, making them likelt to be inheriited together. Genes on separate chromosomes are never linked. Genes that are farther away from each other are more likely to be separated during the process called homologous recombination and thus they are not inherited together.

Answer 2

The farther apart two sort of genes are located on a chromosomes, THE LESS LIKELY THEY ARE TO BE INHERITED TOGETHER.
The chromosomes is a thread like structure that is made up of nucleic acid and is found in the nucleus of most living organisms. Chromosomes carry genetic information in form of genes and it is the basis of inheritance in living organisms. A gene refers to a unit of heredity that is transferable from parent to offspring. When two genes are located beside each other on a chromosome, the probability of their been transferred together is higher than if the two genes are located farther away from each other.
