If recombination rate is high, then a particular combination of alleles is likely to be transferred to the next generation intact.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A high recombination rate means that crossovers are more likely to occur. The higher the number of crossovers, the higher the probability that alleles on the same chromosome will be separated during meiosis. Therefore, the lower the recombination rate, the higher the chance that a particular combination of alleles will be transferred intact to the next generation.
