The frequency of crossing over between any two linked genes will be which of the following?
A)Higher if they are recessive
B)Dependent on how many alleles there are
C)Determined by their relative dominance
D)The same as if they were not linked
E)Proportional to the distance between them

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency of crossing over between any two linked genes is proportional to the physical distance between them on the chromosome. The farther apart the genes are, the more likely there will be crossing over events between them during meiosis. The other answer choices are not factors that affect the frequency of crossing over.
