maize has ten pairs of chromosomes, how many linkage gropus will be presented if all the genes are mapped

1. 20
2. 5
3. 40
4. 10

linkage group, in genetics, all of the genes on a singlechromosome. They are inherited as a group; that is, during cell division they act and move as a unit rather than independently. So there will be 10 linkage group in maize if the genes are mapped.
