Answer 2

Calculate the linkage strength of genes

Explanation:

• linkage strength is a tendency of a DNA sequence which is close together on a chromosome.
• To show the meiosis phase of inherited generation
• The linkage map distance between two genes is the percentage recombination between two genes which is measured in linkage map unit (LMU) or centiMorgan (cM).
• Therefore 6 cM is equal to 6% recombination which means the linkage strength is very high as the distance between genes A and B is very less.
