Two genes on the same chromosome that lie very far apart will show
- A. no recombination at all
- B. complete linkage in every meiosis
- C. a higher recombination frequency than genes lying close together
- D. fewer crossing overs than genes lying close together
Explanation
The longer the stretch of chromosome between two genes, the more likely a crossover will fall between them, so distant genes recombine more often. Genes very close together are strongly linked and rarely separated.
