A pair of genes are linked if their recombination frequency in test cross is
A. 50%
B. 75%
C. 100%
D. Less than 50%
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
A pair of genes are linked if their recombination frequency in the test cross is Less than 50%.If the genes are far apart on a chromosome or different chromosomes, the recombination frequency is 50%.
In this case, the inheritance of alleles at the two loci is independent. If the recombination frequency is less than 50% we say the two loci are linked.
