Linkage can be described as a tendency for genes located side by side on the same pair of chromosomes to be transmitted together to the next generation. This tendency is important for genotype mapping, as it allows scientists to know the location and frequency of these genes in the population. Which of the following statements is true about linkage?

Linkage allows scientists to understand how genetic mutations are transmitted.

Linkage can be used to predict the frequency of genes in individuals of the population, regardless of their location.

Linkage cannot be used to predict the outcome of a cross between individuals.

Linkage allows scientists to understand how hereditary traits are transmitted.

Linkage can be used to predict the location of genes in individuals of the population.
