Hi there!

<u>Linkage</u> is the term applied when two genes fail to assort independently.

<h3> <u>RESULT</u> ?</h3>

☆ The result is that <em>the parental traits will be maintained</em>.

☆ Also, the linked genes sit close together on a chromosome, making them likely to be inherited together (left).

<h3> <u>IMPORTANCE</u></h3>

When the chromosomal location for a disease phenotype has been established, then the genetic <em>linkage </em><em>s</em><em>c</em><em>r</em><em>u</em><em>t</em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>helps determine whether the disease phenotype is only caused by mutation</em> in a single gene or mutations in other genes, giving rise to an identical or similar phenotype.

Hope that helps!

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Fossil fuels are cheaper than alternative forms of energy.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are made by the natural process in a longer time period such as anaerobic decomposition of the dead organism like plants, and animals. These plants and animal's decomposed organic matter pilled up to form coal, or natural gases or crude oil.

By the use of such fuels the reserves are continuously depleting and will be no longer available in the future if not managed properly as it can not be renewed. Fossil fuels increases the green house gases in environment and affect it by incresing carbon in atmosphere. However, these fuels are cheaper in comparision of other fuels.

Thus, the correct answer is - Fossil fuels are cheaper than alternative forms of energy.
