Question

What are linked traits and what makes certain traits especially closely linked to each other

Accepted Answer

Linked traits are traits that are on the same chromosome

When the loci of genes on a chromosome are very close together, the genes are more likely to be inherited together because it is more likely that they will both crossover together onto a non-sister chromatid during assortment in meiosis
