show the cross and diagram of heterozygous parents if two loci are linked(take character body color and eye color

)

 

Dear student

Please refer the solution below for the said query
 

Linkage is defined as the coexistence of two or more genes in the same chromosome. If the genes are situated on the same chromosome and lie close to each other, then they are inherited together and are said to be linked genes.

For example, a cross between yellow body and white eyes and wild type parent in a Drosophila will produce wild type and yellow white progenies. It is because yellow bodied and white eyed genes are linked. Therefore, they are inherited together in progenies.
 

Hope this information clears your doubt about the topic.
