Summary Introduction
To review:
The recombination frequency between two genes depends on the physical distance between them, with the help of a diagram of a chromosome.
Introduction:
The progeny, which resemble the parent, is known as parental type, and those, in which a crossing over and exchange of genetic material takes place are known as recombinant progeny. Recombination frequency is obtained by dividing the number of recombinant progeny by the total number of progeny.

You can get a free genome sequence – an analysis of all of your DNA that includes a report of your ancestry, traits and a medical profile. The medical profile tells you about diseases for which you have a low risk of getting, and also those you have a high risk of getting. Are you interested?
