Question

15. If the percentage of crossing
over between two genes is 10,
then the distance between two
*
genes will be
O 5 morganoid
O 10 centimorgans
O 20 centimorgans
O 40 map units​

Answer 1

Answer:

will be 10 centimorgans i think not sure

Answer 2

Answer:

If the percentage of crossing over between two genes is 10, then the distance between two genes will be 10cM.

Explanation:

• The linkage is a transmission pattern, where the two or more genes are said to be linked as they reside on the same chromosome.
• The linkage of the genes in a chromosome can be represented in the form of a genetic map (or linkage map or chromosomal map). The unit of measurement for the genetic map is known as a map unit or centimorgan (cM).
• Crossing over can produce recombinants. The percentage of recombination (crossing over) between two loci (location of a specific gene on a chromosome) is directly related to the physical distance between two loci. For example, 1% crossing over is equivalent to 1 map unit or 1cM (centimorgan).

Hence, the answer is 10cM.
