Question

If a set of three loci are completely linked, do you expect to see more or less double-recombinants than if they are unlinked. explain?

Answer 1

Hello Gabby,

 

Recombination frequency is always higher for unlinked loci. Absence of recombinants in the progeny indicates tight linkage. 

 

For additional explanation I would have to draw and this platform does not allow me to add attachment. If I find a suitable site that explains recombination frequency then I shall update it. 

 

Best,
