Key differences, features, and comparative analysis of Linkage and Recombination.
| Linkage | Recombination |
|---|---|
| Physical association of genes on the same chromosome; tend to be inherited together. | Generation of non-parental gene combinations (crossing over). |
| Genes close together → tightly linked, low recombination. | Genes far apart → loosely linked, high recombination. |
