Vedclass · Answer

(C) Linkage was first observed by $William$ $Bateson$ and $Reginald$ $Punnett$ in $1906$ while working on the sweet pea plant $(Lathyrus$ $odoratus)$.They observed that the genes for flower color and pollen shape did not show independent assortment, which led to the discovery of the phenomenon of linkage.Although $Thomas$ $Hunt$ $Morgan$ later provided the chromosomal basis of linkage and performed extensive work on $Drosophila$, the initial observation was made by $Bateson$ and $Punnett$.
