Question

Answer the following question.

Some Mendelian crossing experimental results were shown to the students. Teacher informed that there are two genes located on the same chromosome. He enquired if they will be ever separated from each other?

Answer 1

1. Genes are located on chromosomes at specific distances and positions.
2. The greater this distance, the greater the chance that a crossover can occur between the genes and the greater the chances of recombination.
3. The chances of recombination are less between the genes that are placed closed to each other on the chromosome.
4. Therefore, due to recombination, the two genes located on the same chromosome have the possibility of separating from each other.
