Solution

Human beings have 23 linkage groups. So, the correct answer is a23 linkage groups.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. Human beings have 46 chromosomes, which contain the DNA and genes that determine everything from our eye color to our height.

  2. These 46 chromosomes are organized into 23 pairs, with one chromosome from each pair inherited from each parent.

  3. Each of these pairs is considered a "linkage group," because the genes on the same chromosome are linked together and tend to be inherited together.

  4. Therefore, human beings have 23 linkage groups.
