Geneticists Often Assume That Map Distances Less Than 7 to 8

Short Answer

Geneticists often assume that map distances less than 7 to 8 map units (m.u.) are quite accurate. Map distances that exceed this threshold significantly are assumed to be less accurate and the level of accuracy declines as map distances increase. Briefly explain this observation.
