Crossing over is often reduced around centromeric regions of chromosomes. If you were trying to construct a genetic map of two linked marker loci in this region, what result might you obtain and why? How would the genetic map correspond to the physical map?

Answer:

If we try to construct a genetic map of two linked marker loci in the centromeric regions then we find that there will be low recombination frequencies. Through this pattern we can draw a relation between the genetic map with its physical map that the markers are quite close to one another.
