What is a meaning of genetic linkage? How this test is used? Describe the meaning of SNP (single nucleotide polymorphisms) and genetic distance identification which is used in genetic analysis.

Knowing that recombination events occur more or less at random along the length of chromosomes, in which case the recombination will occur more frequently between the genes during meiosis:

  1. if two genes are closer together
  2. two genes are far away from each other
  3. there is no impact based on location of two genes.
  4. What is a definition of DNA polymorphism and how can this be used for linkage studies?
