Genetic marker analysis shows that genes A, B, and C are all found on the same chromosome. A studyfinds that the alleles for genes A and C are almost always inherited together. The alleles for gene B assortindependently of genes A and C. Which conclusion is most likely true?A. Gene B must be on one of the chromatids with genes A and B on the other.B. Gene B must be on one end of the chromosome with genes A and C on the other.C. The genetic marker analysis must be incorrect; gene B is found on a different chromosome.D.

Given: Genetic marker analysis shows that genes A, B, and C are all found on the same chromosome. A study finds that the alleles for genes A and C are almost always inherited together. The alleles for gene B assort independently of genes A and C. Answer ; Option A. Gene B must be on one of the chromatids with gene A & B on the other : wrong Because, The statement is completely wrong and doesn't make any sense. Option B. Gene B must be on one end of chromosome with gene A & C on the other : correct Because, this is the best possible explanation of the given scenario. It is mentioned that B assorts independently of others whereas A and C are always inherited together. That means A and C are linked with each other and must be present on one end together. Option C. The genetic marker analysis must be incorrect, gene B is found on different chromosome : wrong Because, Genetic marker analysis is correct and gene B is present on same chromosome. Option D. The inheritance study must be incorrect, gene B should show linked inheritance with gene A and C : correct Because, there is no any compulsion of gene B to show linked inheritance with A & C. Hence, option B) is correct
