The fact that all seven of the garden pea traits studied by Mendel obeyed the principle of independent assortment means that the seven pairs of alleles determining these traits behave as if they are on different chromosomes (II). A Barr body (sec chromatin) is normally found in the nucleus of somatic cells of a female only (III). The particular position of a gene on a chromosome is known as a locus (IV). The frequency of crossing over between any two linked genes is proportional to the distance between them (V). A man who carries an X-linked allele will pass it on to all of his daughters (VI). Thomas Hunt Morgan is nest remembered for his discovery and explanation of crossing over and recombination VII. There is good evidence for linkage when two different loci do not segregate independently during meiosis Which statements are correct?
