Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Genes are arranged in the chromosomes.
A
In clusters
B
In binary fashion
C
In linear fashion
D
Scattered
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The data of W. BATESON and colleagues on Lathyrus odoratus provided an experimental approach to the localization of genes on chromosomes. In Lathyrus odoratus, two characteristics are coupled that are nevertheless sometimes separated from each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -Using information about recombination established in the Morgan lab, in 1913 Sturtevant published research results that indicated that genes are arranged in a linear fashion along the chromosome.

Detailed explanation-3: -All genes are arranged linearly along the chromosomes. The nucleus of most human cells contains 2 sets of chromosomes, 1 set given by each parent. Each set has 23 single chromosomes22 autosomes and an X or Y sex chromosome. (A normal female will have a pair of X chromosomes; a male will have an X and Y pair.)

Detailed explanation-4: -Even though chromosomes are highly compacted due to supercoiling, at the level of DNA, genes are arranged linearly.

Detailed explanation-5: -linear arrangement of the genes. It is supposed by Morgan that two genes. lying in the same chromosome show close linkage if theylie close together, but. less linkage if they lie farther apart, and that the farther apart they are the.
