4.Principles of Inheritance and Variation
medium
Given below is a highly simplified representation of the human sex chromosomes from a karyotype.
The genes $a$ and $b$ could be of

A
colour blindness and body height
B
attached ear lobe and Rhesus blood group
C
haemophilia and red-green colour blindness
D
phenylketonuria and haemophilia
(AIIMS-2006)
Solution
Genes $a$ and $b$ lie very close to each other. So, they are representing linked genes. e.g. genes of haemophilia and colour blindness show sex linked inheritance.
