Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

The linkage group refers to the group of genes that are physically linked together. The number of linkage groups represents the haploid number of chromosomes in a species. The linkage groups can be correlated as the number of homologous pairs. Therefore, option D, which states that linkage groups are not correlated with each other, is false.
