In a cross of AB and ++, 750 are parental types out of 1000 progenies. The map unit between A and B is
A. 75 map unit
B. 25 map unit
C. 65 map unit
D. 35 map unit
Answer: Option A
Solution(By Examveda Team)
In a cross of AB and ++, 750 are parental types out of 1000 progenies. The map unit between A and B is 75 map units.A map unit is a unit for measuring genetic linkage. It is defined as the distance between chromosome positions for which the expected average number of intervening chromosomal crossovers in a single generation is 0.01.
Map unit between A and B
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{{{\text{no}}{\text{. of recombinants}}}}{{{\text{total no}}{\text{. of offsprings}}}} \cr & = \frac{{750}}{{1000}} \times 100 \cr & = 75{\text{ maps unit}}{\text{.}} \cr} $$
