QUESTION
In the linked genes, recombinant gametes are?
OPTIONS
(A) More than 50%
(B) 50%
(C) Less than 50%
(D) None of the above
ANSWER
(C) Less than 50%
EXPLANATION
In linked genes, recombination occurs less frequently than 50% because the genes tend to be inherited together. A recombination frequency of 50% is the maximum observable value and indicates independent assortment or very loose linkage; a value above 50% is not expected as a recombination frequency.
