User:Silvern.blueberry/Linked Traits

Linked genes sit close together on a chromosome, making them likely to be inherited together (left).

Genes on separate chromosomes are never linked (center).

But not all genes on a chromosome are linked. Genes that are farther away from each other are more likely to be separated during a process called homologous recombination (right).
