Question

Recombination frequency is the number of recombinant offspring divided by the total number of offspring. if 300 of 500 offspring are of the parental type, what is the recombination frequency? two digit answer only!

Answer 1

the correct answer is 60%

Answer 2

The correct answer is - 0.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recombination frequency is the number of offspring that are produced in the cross with recombination of chromosomes of both parental chromosome. The recombination frequency can be derived by the number of recominant offspring by the total number of offspring.

So, Recombinant frequency =
`(200)/(500)` = 0.4,

(number of recombinant offspring = 500 - 300 = 200)

Thus, the correct answer would be - 0.4
