Explain the relationship between replication track lengths and the levels of gene conversion. (For example, if track lengths were twice as long on average, would you expect gene conversion to increase or decrease two-fold?).

Question

aaronq · Answer

if the tracks are longer (if by "tracks" they mean the length of the gene) it would take longer for replication to be completed. think about travelling in a car, if you go somewhere thats twice as far, are you gonna get there at the same time (given that you travel at the same speed)?
