Can someone please explain how recombination frequency works? I get stuck trying to figure out the recombination frequency for random individuals.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In genes that are linked, the recombination frequency can used to estimate the physical distance between the two genes on the chromosomes. The further apart the genes, the more likely they are to recombine due to crossing over. Conversely, the closer together the gene, the less likely they are to recombine. Hope it helped!!
