Distance between the genes and percentag...

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.
