What is another word for closely-linked genes?
Pronunciation: [klˈə͡ʊslɪlˈɪŋkt d͡ʒˈiːnz] (IPA) 
Closely-linked genes refer to genes that are located close together on a chromosome. These genes are often inherited and passed down together as a group during the process of genetic recombination. Synonyms for closely-linked genes include "linked genes", "clustered genes", "tightly-associated genes", "co-inherited genes", and "proximal genes". These terms are all used to describe genes that are physically close to each other on a chromosome, indicating that they may share a functional relationship or be involved in a related biological process. Understanding the relationships between closely-linked genes is crucial for understanding genetic inheritance and the development of complex traits and diseases.
