Answer #1

The process through which fragments of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are broken as well as recombined which results in a new allelic combination is regarded as recombination.

Distance between two genes measured in centimorgan (cM) or map unit (mu), which helps in ascertaining the relative distance between two linked genes.

Recombinant frequency can be calculated as,

               1 map unit = 1 centi Morgan (cM) = 1% recombination

               Given: 16 centi Morgan

               To find: percentage of gametes expect to be recombinant that is recombination frequency

               1 cM = 1% recombination

               Therefore, 16 cM = 16% recombination.
