A pair of genes located adjacent to another on a chromosome are most likely to be affected by a crossing-over event (Option A).

  • Linked genes are genes located on the same chromosome.

  • Crossing over, also known as recombination, refers to the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids during meiosis (Prophase I).

  • During crossing over, linked genes are separated to be recombined between non-sister chromatids, thereby increasing the genetic diversity of the resulting germinal (gamete) cells.

In conclusion, a pair of genes located adjacent to another on a chromosome are most likely to be affected by a crossing-over event (Option A).
