If chromosomes were passed down unchanged from generation to generation, then this state would best be described as

A) linkage equilibrium.
B) linkage disequilibrium.
C) broad sense heritability.
D) physical linkage.

Linkage Equilibrium

Linkage equilibrium exists for any two loci if the occurrence of an allele at one of the loci is independent of the presence or absence of an allele at the other locus.

Linkage Disequilibrium

The non-random association of alleles at different loci in a given population, often due to their proximity on a chromosome.

Chromosomes

Structures made of DNA and protein found in the nuclei of cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
