Answer #1

if two genes are on the same chromosome and are far enough apart that they undergo recombination at least 50% of the time, the genes are independently assorting and do not show linkage.

Given genes 28cM apart.. there are 4 gametes formed

Both recombinant gamete should be observed equally frequently :- 1/2(0.28)= 0.14

The parentral gametes are observed when there is no crossover between the genes: 100%-28% = 72%

Perecntage of gametes recombinant are 14%+14%= 28%
