Question

question 8 of 10
this diagram is a genetic map that shows the relative positions of four alleles
along a chromosome.
chromosome
which two alleles have the highest probability of being inherited together?
a. s and b
b. t and r
c. b and t
d. s and r

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In genetics, alleles that are closer together on a chromosome have a higher probability of being inherited together. In the given genetic map, alleles S and B are the closest to each other compared to the other pairs (T and R, B and T, S and R). This proximity means they are less likely to be separated by crossing - over events during meiosis, thus having a higher chance of being inherited as a unit.

Answer:

A. S and B
