Question

Which statement is true about crossing over of genes? A. Crossing over does not occur between genes that are far apart from each other on a chromosome. B. Frequency of crossing over is related to the distance between linked genes. C. Genes that are close to each other frequently cross over.

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The closer together that particular genes are to each other, the less likely that they will separate during crossing over and the more likely that they are inherited together by offspring – this is a test of linkage of genes. Genes on separate chromosomes are more likely to cross over than genes on the same chromosome.
