The tendency for two or more genes to segregate together in a cross is known as

  1. co-dominace
  2. incomplete dominance
  3. polygenic inheritance
  4. linkage ✓
Explanation

Linkage is when genes sit close together on the same chromosome. They tend to be inherited together and do not segregate independently.

Co-dominance and incomplete dominance describe how alleles of one gene show in the offspring. Polygenic inheritance means many genes control one trait, like height.
