Answer #1

Answer1a): a. A and B

Answer1b): b. A and C

Comments: Recombination frequency is likely a reflection of the physical distance between two genes. Recombination takes place between the incompletely linked genes (not among the completely linked genes). The recombination frequency is directly proportional to the distance among the genes (that is recombination frequency is more in two distinctly located genes than the two closely located genes). More likely the closer genes are inherited together (Co-occurrence). In the above question gene A and B are closely located so the recombination frequency if lowest. However, gene A and gene C are distinctly located so the recombination frequency is more among gene A and gene C.
