Q907
Which among the following do not follow independent assortment?
A.
Genes on non-homologous chromosome without Linkage
B.
Genes on Homologous chromosome
C.
Linked gene on same chromosome
AnswerD.
Unlinked gene on same chromosome
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
A linked gene on the same chromosome does not follow independent assortment.whenever two genes are linked because of their location on a chromosome, their alleles will not segregate independently during gamete formation.
As a result, test crosses involving alleles of linked genes will yield phenotypic ratios that stray from the classic Mendelian ratios.
