Is It Possible for Two Different Genes Located on the Same

question 18

Multiple Choice

Is it possible for two different genes located on the same chromosome to assort independently?

• A)No, if two genes are on the same chromosome, they will be linked and the recombination frequency will be less than 50%.
• B)Yes, if the two genes are close enough to each other, there are a limited number of crossover events between them.
• C)No, there will be a very high crossover interference such that the recombination frequency will be reduced significantly.
• D)Yes, if the genes are far enough apart on the same chromosome, a crossover occurs between them in just about every meiotic event.
• E)Yes, but only if the two genes are both homozygous.
