A set of genes will be in a complete linkage when the progeny phenotypes for parental (P) and recombinant (R) types are

  • P = 0%, R =100%

  • P = 50%, R = 50%

  • P < 50%, R > 50%

  • P = 100%, R = 0%

Solution

D.

P = 100%, R = 0%

A set of genes will be in a complete linkage when they are present in close proximity on a chromosome and are inherited together during meiosis always. Complete linkage means no crossing over or recombination, i.e. the progeny phenotypes will be totally parental. i.e., P=100%, R = 0%
