(c) : Linkage is the phenomenon ofcertain genes staying together during inheritance through generations without any change or separation due to their being present on the same chromosome. Linkage was first suggested by Sutton and Boveri $(1902-­1903)$ when they propounded the famous “chromosomal theory of inheritance.” Bateson and Punnett $(1906)$ while working on sweet pea found that the factors for certain characters do not show independent assortment.However, it was Morgan $(1910)$ who clearly proved and defined linkage on the basis of his breeding experiments in fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster).
