Solution
Linked genes do not obey the law of independent assortment.
Explanation:
Linked genes do not obey the law of independent assortment. This is because genes located close together on the same chromosome tend to be inherited together, rather than assorting independently as Mendel's law predicts. However, crossing over during meiosis can separate linked genes, allowing for some recombination between them, but they still do not show the typical 9:3:3:1 ratio expected from independent assortment of genes on different chromosomes.
