Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Genes that are lo ca ted on the same chromosome are calle d linked genes. Alleles for these genes tend to segregate together during meiosis, unless they are separated by crossing-over.
Detailed explanation-2: -Genes on separate chromosomes are never linked (center). But not all genes on a chromosome are linked. Genes that are farther away from each other are more likely to be separated during a process called homologous recombination (right).
