Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
D
A pair of genes are linked if their recombination frequency in the test cross is Less than 50%.
If the genes are far apart on a chromosome or different chromosomes, the recombination frequency is 50%.
In this case, the inheritance of alleles at the two loci is independent. If the recombination frequency is less than 50% we say the two loci are linked.
