Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is suitable for experiments on linkage?
A
AABB x aabb
B
AaBb x AaBb
C
aaBB x aaBB
D
AAbb x AaBB
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘AABB × aabb’.

Detailed explanation-2: -AABB x aabb is suitable for experiment on linkage. Linkage may be defined as the tendency of two genes of the same chromosome to remain together in the process of inheritance.

Detailed explanation-3: -htm. Linkage explains why certain characteristics are frequently inherited together. For example, genes for hair color and eye color are linked, so certain hair and eye colors tend to be inherited together, such as blonde hair with blue eyes and brown hair with b rown eyes.

Detailed explanation-4: -When two genes are located on the same chromosome, the chance of a crossover producing recombination between the genes is related to the distance between the two genes. Thus, the use of recombination frequencies has been used to develop linkage maps or genetic maps.

Detailed explanation-5: -Genetic linkage analysis is a powerful tool to detect the chromosomal location of disease genes. It is based on the observation that genes that reside physically close on a chromosome remain linked during meiosis.
