During meiosis, each member of a pair of genes tends to be randomly distributed into gametes (receive alleles) independently of how other chromosomes are distributed. Genes that are having their loci nearer to each other are not generally separated during chromosomal crossover and are inherited together to the offspring. These genes are known as linked genes (two different chromosomes), and they always have multiple alleles. Incompletely linked genes undergo crossing over, and the frequency of crossing over depends upon their distance. In contrast, the completely linked genes do not undergo crossing over at all. Means, they do not produce recombinant gametes. If two linked genes are separated by 10 cM (centi morgans or map units), the percent recombinants produced by this cross is always equal to the 10% and the remaining 90% will be identical to the parental genotype. And, in case of cross between the linked genes, the highest percent of offspring indicates (always, equal to or more than 50%) the paretnal and the remaining are recombinants.
