Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment states that genes located on different chromosomes are inherited independently of one another. If this is the case, what happens when two genes are located on the same chromosome? Are they inherited together, do they separate, or both?
What will be an ideal response?
Both. Linked genes are inherited together most of the time, but crossing over can occur and the genes could be separated.
