Question

​​​​​Given the following linkage map, what is the probability that an individual of genotype AbC/aBc produces a gamete that is abC?

      A______3 cM______B_____________16 cM_____________C     

                                                                                                                  

A) 1.3%

B) 2.5%

C) 7.8%

D) 15.5%

Answer 1

Linkage is the tendency of Inheritance of 2 or more genes more frequently than expected from probability alone.

It is an exception of Independent assortment

Linkage Map where where distance between two gene given in centimorgan cM gives us percent of recombination frequency(RF)

1℅RF = 1 cM

Hence if there is 3cM distance between 2 gene it means Recombination frequency between them is 3%
