Genes located on the same chromosome that tends to be inherited together in genetic crosses are said to be………..
a) dominant genes
b) linked genes
c) epistatic genes
d) non-linked genes
The phenomenon in which genes on the same chromosome inherited together in genetic crosses is called……..
a) epistasis
b) gene dominance
c) gene linkage
d) gene masking
If the genes are linked on autosomes, their linkage is called……….linkage.
a) autosomal
b) sex
c) dominant
d) recessive
Explanation: “Autosomal” means that the gene in question is located on one of the numbered, or non-sex, chromosomes.
If the genes are linked on sex chromosomes, their linkage is called…… linkage.
a) autosomal
b) sex
c) dominant
d) recessive
All the linked genes found on the……… pair of chromosome form a group, known as linkage group.
a) same homologous
b) different non-homologous
c) same chromosome
d) different chromosome
Explanation: so the number of linkage group in an organism are equal to the number of homologous pair of chromosomes in that organism.
Which of the following genes are found on chromosome 11 in human?
a) sickle cell anemia
b) leukemia
c) albinism
d) all of these
Explanation: these traits are supposed to be in the same linkage group
