Distance between the genes and percentage of recombination shows

A

a direct relationship

B

an inverse relationship

C

a parallel relationship

D

no relationship

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Crossing over separates genes away from each other. So, the distance between the geneas and percentage of recombination shows an direct relationship, i.e., when genes are close together they have high linkage and exhibit low recombination frequencies. Thus, the other option are wrong as it does not sow parallel or inverse relationship.

Distance between gene and percentage of linkage shows:

The distance between the genes is measuredby

In Drosophila melanogaster, what percentage of recombination is shown between the genes white and yellow, and what percentage of linkage is shown between the genes white and miniature wing, respectively?

The figure shows the experiment of T.H Morgan on the linkage. If in cross-I, genes are tightly linked and in cross-II, genes are loosely linked then what will be the percentage of recombination produced in cross-I and cross-II respectively?

overset((A))("_____") used the frequency of recombination between gene pairs on the overset((B))("_____") as a measure of the distance between genes and mapped their position on the chromosome.
