ANSWERS OPTIONS

Recombination frequency is inversely proportional to the distance between the genes present on a chromosome.

Strength of linkage is directly proportional to the recombination of genes.

The lesser the strength of the linkage, the greater the chance of recombination.

All of the above.

Recombination is the generation of non-parental gene combinations, whereas linkage is the phenomenon of the physical association of genes on a chromosome. In terms of linkage and recombination, which of the following statements is true?
