TeachMeFinance.com - explain Linkage Linkage The term 'Linkage' as it applies to the area of gnome research can be defined as 'The proximity of two or more markers (e.g., genes, RFLP markers) on a chromosome; the closer the markers, the lower the probability that they will be separated during DNA repair or replication processes (binary fission in prokaryotes, mitosis or meiosis in eukaryotes), and hence the greater the probability that they will be inherited together'.
