Which of the following statements best describes the events associated with the recombination of genes? Select one: a. Crossovers are most likely to occur between linked genes that are close together. b. If the alleles in gametes after meiosis are different from those in the parents, the gametes are referred to as recombinant. c. Any two genes located on the same chromosome are called linked genes. d.
