Linkage groups can be separated during ____________ in meiosis. A) Crossing over B) Synapsis C) Tetrad formation D) Terminalization
Linkage groups can be separated during ____________ in meiosis. A) Crossing over B) Synapsis C) Tetrad formation D) Terminalization

Correct option:(A)Crossing over

Solution:

  • Linkage group refers to number of type of chromosome present in species.
  • Human have 22 autosomal linkage groups, one X and one Y linkage group.
  • Crossing over results in exchange of genes between two homologous chromosomes.
  • It separates the linkage groups to create new combinations of gene.
