Suppose that in studies of genes on the same chromosome you find the following recombination frequencies:
Figure 13.2
Why is the total distance between a and b less than the distance between a and c plus the distance between c and b ?
A) Genes a and b are not linked.
B) The distances were calculated incorrectly.
C) Gene b is in between genes a and c.
D) Double crossovers between a and b decrease recombinants.
