View submission: How do genes get passed down?

View parent comment

Just FYI, this isn’t actually true due to recombination. If two genes are extremely close together on the same chromosome then yes it is unlikely they will be inherited separately, but just being present on the same chromosome or even the same limb is not sufficient to make them always inherit together.

It's still a lot more likely than not though, right?
