The frequency of crosoing -over occurring between two genes located on the same chromosome depends on:

Options

A. Length of the chromosome
B. position of the centromere
C. activities of two genes
D. distance between two genes

Answer

D

Explanation

The frequency of crossing over occurring between two genes located on the same chromosome is directly proportional to the distance between the two genes. Hence, closer the two genes are to one another on a chromosome, the greater will be their chance of being inherited fogether. In cantraslocated away fmas each other on same chromosome are more likely to be separated during recombination. Other fastors given in the options such on lenght of chosomone pesition of centropere and activities of two genes dore not have any elastive with crossing over and recombination.
