Q688

Maximum recombination percentage is

A.
20
B.
30
C.
50
Answer
D.
60

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
The maximum recombination percentage is 50.
The recombination frequency between two genes cannot be greater than 50% because a random assortment of genes generates 50% recombination (non-linked genes produce 1 : 1 parental to non-parental. Thus, the recombination frequency would be non-parental/total →  ).
