Maximum recombination percentage is
A. 20
B. 30
C. 50
D. 60
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
The maximum recombination percentage is 50.The recombination frequency between two genes cannot be greater than 50% because a random assortment of genes generates 50% recombination (non-linked genes produce 1 : 1 parental to non-parental. Thus, the recombination frequency would be non-parental/total → $$\frac{1}{{1 + 1}} = 50\% $$ ).
