NEET Botany (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 12
In a diagram illustrating linkage, two dihybrid crosses are shown involving genes y and w, and genes w and m. What does a stronger linkage between y and w compared to w and m imply about the genes' locations on the chromosome?
A
Genes y and w are closer together than genes w and m.
B
Genes w and m are closer together than genes y and w.
C
Genes y and w are located on different chromosomes.
D
Genes w and m are located on different chromosomes.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The strength of linkage between genes indicates their physical proximity on a chromosome. Stronger linkage between y and w suggests they are closer to each other than w and m, reducing the chance of recombination between them.
