What is the reason that closely linked genes are typically inherited together? Group of answer choices The likelihood of a crossover event between these two genes is low. The number of genes in a cell is greater than the number of chromosomes. Alleles are paired together during meiosis. Chromosomes are unbreakable. Genes align that way during metaphase I of meiosis.

The closer two genes are to one another on a chromosome, the less likely it is that recombination will occur between the genes. The close proximity of genes increases the probability of However, even genes that are close together experience some resu independent assortment. of linkage over time. meiosis, linkage disequilibrium. crossing over, genetic polymorphism. translation,

Linked genes a. must be immediately adjacent to one another on a chromosome. b. have alleles that assort independently of one another. c. never show crossing over d. are on the same chromosome. e. always have multiple alleles.
