Genetic marker analysis shows that genes A, B, and C are all found on the same chromosome. A study finds that the alleles for genes A and C are almost always inherited together. The alleles for gene B assort independently of genes A and C. Which conclusion is most likely true?
A. Gene B must be on one of the chromatids with genes A and B on the other.
B. Gene B must be on one end of the chromosome with genes A and C on the other.
C. The genetic marker analysis must be incorrect; gene B is found on a different chromosome.
D. The inheritance study must be incorrect; gene B should show linked inheritance with genes A and C.
