The distance between two genes in a chromosome is measured in cross-over units which represent

  • A

    Ratio of crossing over between them

  • B

    Percentage of crossing over between them

  • C

    Number of crossing over between them

  • D

    None of these

The map distance between genes $A$ and $B$ is $3$ units, between $B$ and $C$ $10$ units and between $C$ and $A$ $7$ units. The order of the genes in a linkage map constructed on the above data would perhaps be

The recombination frequency between the genes $a\, \& \, c$ is $5 \,\% \,, b\, \& \,c$ is $15 \,\%,\, b\, \& \,d$ is $9 \%, \,a\, \& \,b$ is $20 \%$ , $c\, \& \,d$ is $24 \%$ and $a \, \& \,d$ is $29 \%$. What will be the sequence of these genes on a linear chromosome?
