Which of the following statements is true of linkage? a. the closer two genes are on a chromosome, the lower the probability that a crossover will occur between them. b. all of the traits that mendel studied-seed color, pod shape, flower color, and others-are due to genes linked on the same chromosome. c. linked genes are found on different chromosomes. d. the observed frequency of recombination of two genes that are far apart from each other has a maximum value of 100%.

The answer is; The closer two genes are on a chromosome, the lower the probability that a crossover will occur between them

The closer together two genes are on a chromosome, the higher the likelihood that they will be inherited together. This is referred to as genetic linkage. The higher the genetic linkage the lower the recombination frequency of the two genes.
