How many linkage groups are there in nucleoid of bacteria?
  • A
    One
  • B
    Two
  • C
    Four
  • D
    None

Solution

The total number of linkage groups in an organism equals to the number of autosomes in its haploid cell. The bacterial cell has one chromosome which means that the number of autosomes in its haploid cell is 1. Hence, total number of linkage groups will be 1.
