Principle Of Inheritance And Variation Question 56
If the recombination frequency is 30% between two linked genes, then the distance between these two genes is
Options:
A) 30 units
B) 15 units
C) 60 units
D) 45 units
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
When the linked genes are quite close to each other, the percentage of gene exchange rate is low, and on the other hand when genes are some distance apart, the percentage of crossing over would be high i.e.
rate of gene exchange is inversely proportional to the distance between them.?
