functions relate recombination frequencies to positions of

______ functions relate recombination frequencies to positions of genetic loci on a chromosome.

A. Mapping

B. Linkage disquilibrium

C. Hybridization

D. Coupling

E. Repulsion

Solution

A: Mapping function is created by recombination frequency which relates the distance between two genetic loci on the chromosome to the recombination frequency. The concept is recombination frequency is directly proportional to the distances between genes. It is used to locate genes on the chromosomes and thereby develops the chromosome maps. Correct answer is \"Mapping\".
