What is recombination?
💡 Hint: Focus on chromosome behavior in meiosis.
True or False: Genes that are closer together on a chromosome are more likely to recombine than those placed far apart.

A genetic cross between two organisms results in a 30% recombination frequency between two traits. Calculate the distance in centimorgans and explain what this indicates about the traits' location on the chromosome.
💡 Hint: Remember the relationship between recombination frequency and centimorgans.
Given that two mutations observed on a gene fail to complement each other while testing, discuss the implications for mapping their location and potential gene function.
💡 Hint: Think about the definition of linkage in genetic mapping.
