AMendel's laws were wrong in all cases
Btwo linked genes inherited together more often
Cgenes always assort independently
Dsex chromosomes don't carry genes
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. two linked genes inherited together more often
When two genes sit close together on the same chromosome, they segregate together far more often than independent assortment predicts.
Morgan called this linkage and used the partial recombination that does occur to map gene positions.
