The image below shows a chromosome with three genes labeled
gene 1
gene 2
gene 3
how are these three genes related?
a
all three genes are linked, and genes 2 and 3 are strongly linked
b.
all three genes are linked, and genes 2 and 3 are weakly linked
c.
genes 1 and 3 are unlinked, and genes 2 and 3 are strongly linked
d. genes 1 and 2 are unlinked, and genes 2 and 3 are weakly linked. i need this asap

A

Explanation:

Linked gene are genes with a high probability of being inherited together. Linked genes are mostly found on the same chromosome and chromosome arm. The closer the genes are along the arm of the chromosome, the even higher degree of linkage – because even in cases of crossing over in meiosis I, they are more likely to remain together.

A chromosome is a threadlike structure made up of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, and it carries the genetic information of that organism in the form of genes.

The fundamental importance is that the chromosome contains the DNA which is necessary for the production of amino acids which in turn produce the proteins that help in the metabolic fuctions of our body, and for passing on genetic information to the next generation.
