    Mendel observed that certain characters did assort independently. Later researchers found it to be due to

    A)  amitosis

    B)  linkage of characters

    C)  dominance of one trait over the other

    D)  crossing-over

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

In other words, linkage is the tendency for two different genes on the same chromosome to remain together during the separation of homologous chromosome during meiosis.
