Question

Determine the correct order of the genes on the chromosome, given the following information: Genes A and T cross over at a rate of 18% Genes M and T cross over at a rate of 9 % Genes A and H cross over at a rate of 11% Genes M and H cross over at a rate of 2% a. TMAH b. AMHT c. MATH d. TAMH

Answer 1

Answer:

b. AMHT

Explanation:

The arrangement of genes on a chromosome can be estimated by considering the distance between the genes using the rate or frequency of their cross overs. Therefore, we have:

A-------------------18-------------------T

                        M---------9---------

--------------11-------------H

                          ---2---

Thus, using the arrangement above by selecting the letters as they occur, we have:

AMHT as the correct genes arrangement in the chromosome.
