Answer» CORRECT CHOICE is (a) Linkage GROUP

To explain: Some genes are packed together on a chromosome and tend to pass on from parents to offsprings as a group. These genes FORM a unit during the formation of gametes and are not separated during gamete formation. These genes on the same chromosome act like they are linked to one another and hence, are known as linkage groups.
