Are two genes linked if not linked to the same marker on a chromosome.? Let's say we want to figure out whether two genes are linked on a particular chromosome so we cross-test them to a marker gene on that chromosome. Gene A is found to have an approximate 50% recombinant frequency so we say it's not linked to the marker. The other gene B however is found to have 40% recombinant frequency with our marker so we say it's linked. Now the question is are the two Genes A and B linked or not? Please explain your reasoning.

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
