Who formulated the chromosomal theory of linkage

  • T H Morgan and W Castle

  • Stern and Hotta

  • Pontecarvo

  • Bridges and Burns


A.

T H Morgan and W Castle

Morgan along with Castle formulated the chromosome theory of linkage. According to this theory the gene shows the phenomenon of linkage situated on the same chromosome and the closely related genes shows strong linkage while distant gene show weak linkage.
