Question

Which chromosome would be expected to contain alleles with the largest recombination frequency?

Answer 1

The passage states that alleles that are far apart are more likely to have a high recombination frequency. Since chromosome 1 is the largest chromosome, it contains alleles that are the farthest apart and, thus, experience the largest recombination frequency

What is Recombination frequency ?

A percentage of recombinant offspring born from a genetic cross between two different organisms.

• The total length of all the chromosomes in each genome's genetic map is calculated in units of cM. Recombination events per chromosome, which appears in the right-most column, is computed by multiplying the length of the genetic map (cM/100) by the total number of chromosomes.
