Answer : Each gamete will receive one copy of each chromosome and one allele for every gene. When the individual chromosomes are distributed into gametes, the alleles of the different genes they carry are mixed and matched with respect to one another.
So basically, Linked genes are genes that are likely to be inherited together because they are physically close to one another on the same chromosome. During meiosis, chromosomes are recombined, resulting in gene swaps between homologous chromosomes.
