Question

If these two genes are close together, there are relatively few breakages between them, and consequently a relatively low number of recombinant gametes (i.e., the recombinant offspring would be closer to a frequency of 0). Far apart Close together Do the genes for seed colour and seed texture appear to be close together (i.e., close to a frequency of 0) or far apart (closer to a frequency of 0.5)?

Far apart
Close together
Do the genes for seed colour and seed texture appear to be close together (i.e., close to a frequency of 0) or far apart (closer to a frequency of 0.5)?

Step 1

Genes that are located close together on the same chromosome tend to be inherited together because there are fewer opportunities for recombination (crossing over) to occur between them. This results in a lower frequency of recombinant gametes. Show more…
