In a linear tetrad analysis,the second division segregation (M_II)frequency of the cyh locus is 16%.The map distance from this locus to its centromere is: A)4 m.u. B)8 m.u. C)16 m.u. D)32 m.u. E)50 m.u.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The map distance from a gene to its centromere can be calculated using the formula for second division segregation frequency, which is (Number of Second Division Segregants/Total Number of Tetrads) * 100. In this case, the frequency is 16%, which directly corresponds to the map distance in m.u. (centiMorgans), making the correct answer 8 m.u.
