Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
The strength of linkage will be determined by the distance between two genes.
The greater this distance, lower will be the linked strength.
Crossing over will be relatively more frequent, if distance between two genes is more than in a case where the distance between genes is less.
