Question

Recombination frequencies obtained from experimental crosses can be used for which of the following?

A) determining the sex of the individual .
B) building a linkage map for a chromosome .
C) predicting the type of chromosomal defect .

Answer 1

Option (B).

Step-by-step explanation:

Genetic recombination may be defined as exchange of the genetic material between the organism that leads to the production of offspring with different genetic traits.

The recombination frequencies explains the difference between the two genes. The distance of the genes is directly proportional to the recombinant frequency. This is used for the construction of the linkage map that determines the position and distance between the genes.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Answer 2

Recombination frequencies obtained from experimental crosses can be used for building a linkage map for a chromosome. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B". I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your great help.
