Zoology - Principles of Inheritance and Variation Question with Solution | TestHub

A map unit is equal to 1 percent of crossovers (recombinants) that is, it represents the linear distance along the chromosome for which a recombination frequency of 1 percent is observed. These distances can also be expressed in Morgan units one Morgan unit represents 100 percent crossing over. Since the distance between A and B genes is 6 cM, % of recombination will be 6% as the distance between genes is directly proportional to the percentage of recombination. So here linkage strength present between two genes A & B is 94%.
