When a cluster of genes show linkage behaviour they

1. induce cell division
2. do not show a chromosome map
3. show recombination during meiosis
4. do not show independent assortment

Correct answer: do not show independent assortment

Solution

Genes that are linked are located close together on the same chromosome, so they are less likely to be separated by crossing over. Because of this, they do not assort independently during gamete formation.
