Explanation

Linkage refers to the tendency of two or more genes to stay together during inheritance. Linkage can occur in two forms: cis and trans. In cis linkage, the two linked genes are present on the same chromosome and in trans linkage, the two linked genes are present on different chromosomes. Linkage is an important concept in genetics and helps in understanding the inheritance patterns of genes.
