If we just have a genetic map, what do we know about the physical location of the genes?

Step 1
A genetic map shows the relative positions of genes on a chromosome based on the frequency of recombination between them during meiosis. Show more…

Is the genetic map or linkage map produced by determining recombination frequencies an actual physical map of the chromosome? What additional techniques do geneticists use to more precisely locate relative positions of genes on chromosomes? Refer to your textbook.
Sri K.
Gene maps represent the distribution of loci in a genome. A variety of techniques are used to construct gene maps because gene maps of organisms with large genomes are typically constructed by piecing together genome components. In particular, physical mapping approaches provide high resolution and accuracy by using molecular biology techniques. Select the physical mapping methods. A.) DNA fingerprinting B.) somatic cell hybridization C.) in situ hybridization D.) pedigree analysis
