Question

In a mapping cross, you determine that the recombination frequency between: loci Q and P is 9% loci Q and Lis 13%. If locus Q is in between loci P and L, then the recombination frequency between P and L should be approximately: a)65% b)4% c)22 d)11% e)13%

Answer 1

The recombination frequency between loci P and L should be approximately 22%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recombination frequency is a measure of the genetic distance between two loci on a chromosome. In this case, the recombination frequency between loci Q and P is 9% and between loci Q and L is 13%. Since locus Q is located in between loci P and L, we can approximate the recombination frequency between P and L by adding the recombination frequencies. Therefore, the recombination frequency between P and L should be approximately 22% (9% + 13%).
