The genetic map shown here depicts the locations of five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, designated a-e) in an autosome and the frequency of recombination (in percent) between adjacent SNPs. The region includes a genetic risk factor Q for a disease, which may be located at position M, H, K, or L.
Pedigree studies indicate that the frequencies of recombination between each of the SNPs and Q are as follows: percent recombination a-Q equals 10%
Percent recombination b-Q equals 6%
Percent recombination c-Q equals 6%
Percent recombination d-Q equals 14%
Percent recombination e-Q equals 30%
What is the MOST likely position of Q in the genetic map?
A) position M
B) position H
C) position K
D) position L
E) None of the answer options is correct.
