Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency that is used to measure the degree of linkage between genes is known as the recombination frequency. It represents the percentage of recombinant offspring produced by a cross between two individuals with known genotypes. The lower the recombination frequency, the closer the genes are located together on a chromosome and the higher the linkage between them.
