Morphology
The term is a straightforward noun–noun compound: 'linkage' (genes that are inherited together) plus 'group' (a unit or collection) yields 'a group of linked genes.' This compositional pattern is literal and follows common compounding logic, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Linkage group comes from the image of genes as beads on a long thread inside a cell. Beads that are close stay 'linked' and travel together, so a linkage group means a set of genes that are 'inherited together'.
