Answer» Correct Answer - 4 If two genes show a 50% recombination frequency it means that they are not linked and show independent assortment . They mat be on the same chromosome or are more likely to be on different chromosomes If they are on the chromosome then the destance between then is large i.e., nearly 50cm. We know that larger the distance between genes on the same chromosome greater are the chances of more than one cross overs in meiosis |
