Given below are two statements.
Statement I: Linked genes are located on different loci of the same chromosome.
Statement II: All the genes located on a single chromosome constitute one linkage group.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Linked genes are genes that are located on the same chromosome, specifically on the same arm of the chromosome. These genes tend to be inherited together as a group because they are physically close to each other on the chromosome. The degree of linkage between two genes depends on the physical distance that separates them on the chromosome. Linked genes do not assort independently during meiosis, in contrast to genes on different chromosomes, which assort independently.
All the genes located on a single chromosome constitute one linkage group. Thus, the number of linkage groups for a given organism is its haploid number of chromosomes. Ex: Haploid number of chromosomes in humans is - 23. So the number of linkage groups in humans is also 23.
