The recombination frequency between the genes a and c is 55 %, b and c is 1515 %, b and d is 99 %, a and b is 2020 %, c and d is 2424 % and a and d is 2929 %. What will be the sequence of these genes on a linear chromosome?

Options

  1. Ad,b,a,c
  2. Ba,b,c,d
  3. Ca,c,b,d
  4. Da,d,b,c

Correct answer

C. a,c,b,d

Step-by-step solution

The recombination frequency is directly proportional to the distance between genes, and the recomination values are used to locate the genes on a chromosome. Here, four genes a, b, c, and d are present with their recombination frequency of a - c = 5%, b – c = 15%, b - d = 9%, a – b = 20%, c – d = 24%, a – d = 29%.

The correct sequence of genes is a-c-b-d, and this is in accordance with the recombination frequency. 29% is the highest recombination frequency present between a and d, this signifies a and d are very far apart, and they are present at the endpoint. The distance between a and c is very less of 5%, which means they are very nearby and next to each other. Likewise, the distance between b and d is very less of 9%, which means they are very nearby and next to each other.
