Vedclass · Answer

(A) Linkage refers to the physical association of genes on the same chromosome. Genes that are closely linked show a lower frequency of recombination (crossing over) during meiosis. Since recombination is responsible for producing new genetic combinations (hybrids) in the offspring,linkage reduces the frequency of these new combinations or hybrids. Therefore,the correct option is $(A)$.
