Chapter 15, Problem 2GP
Summary Introduction
To determine: The order of genes on the chromosome with the given recombination frequencies.
Introduction: Recombination is the process of exchanging the genetic material between two different chromosomes or between the different regions within the same chromosomes. Genetic recombination occurs naturally in meiosis, which involves the crossing over.

Determine the sequence of genes along a chromosome based on the following recombination frequencies: A-B 20 m.u.; A-C 10 m.u.; A-D 15 m.u.; B-C 30 m.u.; B-D 5 m.u.
A geneticist determines that the order of four genes on a specific chromosome is CABD because the recombination frequencies were 35% for C-D, 24% for A-D, 23% for B-D, and 10% for A-B. What has the geneticist constructed?
What would be the gene map for the following genes with known recombination frequencies? D and A is 5.1 cM, A and C is 15.8 cM, A and B is 7.8 cM, C and D is 10.7 cM, and C and B is 8.0 cM.
