Questions  

What map unit (Centimorgan) is adopted in the construction of genetic maps?

a
A unit of distance between genes on chromosomes, representing 50% cross over.
b
A unit of distance between two expressed genes, representing 10% cross over.
c
A unit of distance between two expressed genes, representing 100% cross over.
d
A unit of distance between genes on chromosomes, representing 1% cross over.

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Map unit is a number that corresponds to a recombination frequency of one percent.  It is unit of distance between genes on chromosomes, representing 1% cross over.0.01 RF (Recombination frequency) = 1% RC (recombination) = 1 map unit distance = 1 centi Morgan (cM). 10 cM = 1 deci Morgan (dM).
