Question 1

What is recombination?

  • A process of DNA replication
  • A process where genetic material is exchanged
  • A process of gene mutation

💡 Hint: Focus on chromosome behavior in meiosis.

Question 2

True or False: Genes that are closer together on a chromosome are more likely to recombine than those placed far apart.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about recombination patterns.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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.
