Question
The map distance in certain organisms between gene A and B is 4 units, B and C is 2 units and between C and D is 8 units which one of these gene pairs will show more recombination frequency? Give reasons in support of your answer.

Answer
The recombination frequency is directly proportional to the distance between the genes. The distance between C and D is more, i.e., 8 units in the above condition, so recombination frequency will be more between them.Need a full question paper?
