                    When a cluster of genes show linkage behaviour they:                                                                              

    A)                 do not show independent assortment            

    B)                 induce cell division

    C)                 do not show a chromosome map                     

    D)                 show recombination during meiosis

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    According to law of independent assortment of Mendel, alleles segregate randomly from each other i.e., all alleles separate from each other during gamete formation and are inherited independently from one another. But genes which are located on the same chromosomes (called linked genes) do not assort independently. Such type of genes are called linked genes and this phenomenon is called as linkage.
