Recombination frequencies between genes can be altered by all the following except?
A) addition of a chromosomal segment outside of the two genes being studied
B) evolution
C) being the homogametic rather than the heterogametic sex
D) concentration of cofactors for DNA binding proteins
E) temperature

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recombination frequencies are generally altered by factors that affect the physical process of recombination or the genetic context, such as evolution, sex differences, cofactors, and temperature. However, the addition of a chromosomal segment outside of the two genes being studied does not directly affect the recombination frequency between those specific genes.
