Statement A: In Drosophila, the distance between the linked genes y and w is more than the distance between the genes w and m.
Statement B: In Drosophila, the recombination frequency with respect to genes y and w is 1.3% and with respect to w and m is 37.2%.
In Drosophila, the distance between the genes y and w is lesser as the recombination frequency with respect to these two genes is 1.3% than with respect to w and m whose recombination frequency is 37%. More is the recombination frequency, more is the distance between the genes.
