Answer the following question given this paragraph: Genes that are located on the same chromosome are called linked genes . Alleles for these genes tend to segregate together during meiosis, unless they are separated by crossing-over. Crossing-over occurs when two homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material during meiosis I. The closer together two genes are on a chromosome, the less likely their alleles will be separated by crossing-over. At the following link, you can watch an animation showing how genes on the same chromosome may be separated by crossing-over: http://www. biostudio. com/d_%20Meiotic%20Recombination%20Between%20Linked%20Genes. htm . Q: Linked genes are located on the same what? Choices: - genome - nucleolus - bacterium - chromosome A:
Answer:
chromosome
