Includes all loci (in DNA molecule) that can be connected (directly or indirectly) by linkage relationships; equivalent to a chromosome
genes found near each other on a chromosome.
The group of genes having their loci on the same chromosome
A set of loci in which all members are linked either directly or indirectly to all other member of the set. Essentially equivalent to the genetic information associated with any single chromosome.
A group of gene loci known to be linked chromosome. There are as many linkage groups as there are homologous pairs of chromosomes. See synteny.
a group of genes on the same chromosome among which there will be no recombination except by crossing over.
