Step 1
The recombination frequency is a measure of how often recombination occurs between two genes during meiosis. In this case, rdr and geg are 12 cM apart, which means that recombination occurs between them approximately 12% of the time. Show more…

Suppose 16% of a salamander population has a short tail, and the short tail allele is recessive. If this population conforms to Hardy-Weinberg expectations for this gene, what is the expected frequency of the homozygote dominant genotype for this trait? 36% 16% 40% 48%

In Drosophila, two recessive mutations - rose wings (rs) and curled wings (cu) - are located 25 cM apart on chromosome 3. What gametes, and at what frequency, would be produced by a fly with the following genotype RScu//rscu? RScu 25% ; rscu 75% RScu 37.5%; rscu 37.5%; RSCU 12.5% ; rsCU 12.5% RScu 37.5% ; rscu 37.5% ; RSrs 12.5% ; cucu 12.5% RScu 50%; rscu 50% RScu 75%; rscu 25%
