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

D. Unlinked gene on same chromosome

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

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.
