Which of the following statements is not true of two genes that show 50% recombination frequency?A. The genes show independent assortmentB. if the genes are present n the same chromosome, they undergo more than one crossovers in every meiosisC. the genes may be on different chromosomesD. the genes are tightly linked

Answer» Correct Answer - D
if two genes a 50% recombination frequency it means that they are not linked and show independence assortment. They may be on the same chromosome or are more likely to be on different chromosomes. If they are on the same chromosome then the distance between then in 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.
