Question

Can someone explain Recombination frequency? What is the formula?

Answer 1

Frequency of recombination is measured during specially prepared crosses where recombinant offspring can be identified particularly as phenotypically different from either of the two parents.

Answer 2

and ill look for the formula for you

Answer 3

Thanks, I can never figure out these percentage outcomes

Answer 4

total number of recombinants (non-parentals) divided by total number of progeny.

Answer 5

what is the equation?

Answer 6

and no problem ! (:

Answer 7

The frequency of carriers of this disease is 0.02 in a particular population. Consider many couples like 6 and 7 where one parent is affected and the other is unaffected. On average, what is the chance that the first child of these couples will be affected? Please give a number between 0.0 and 1.0. Please use only one significant digit.

Wow, and i was thinking i was skrewed. Haha thanks!

Answer 13
