A. code for the same phenotypic traits

B. code for linked steps in biochemical pathways

C. are located close together on the same chromosme

D. are located on more than one chromosome

E. code for traits involved in sex and reproduction

Solution

Linked genes are those that are located close together on the same chromosomes.

These genes said to be closed genes as they are inherited together from a single parent. It is so, because these genes are physically so close to each other, that it is a very rare event that they get seperated during chromosomal crossover (an even in meiosis), hence are termed linked as there is very rare chance of recombination between them due to their closeness and thus are inherited together from same parent.
