which of the following statements is not true of two genes that show 50 % recombination frequency ?

Options

A. The ganes may be on different chromosomes
B. The ganes ae tightly linked
C. The genes show independent assortment
D. It the genes are present on the same chromosome, they undergo more that one crossovers in every meiosis

Answer

B

Explanation

The tightly linked genes on chromosomes show 100% parental types and 0% recombinants. Two genes that undergo independent assortment indicated by a recombinant frequency of 50% are present on non-homologous chromosomes located for apart in a single chromosome. as the distance between two genes increases, cross over frequency increases and more recombinant gametes, while fewer parental gametes are seen.
