D, F, and J are three genes in Drosophila. The recombination frequencies for two of the three genes are shown in Figure 15.3.
$$\begin{array} { c c }
\text { Gene Pair } & \text { Recombination Frequency } \
\hline \text { D-F } & 50 \% \
\text { D-J } & 25 \% \
\text { F-J } & ?
\end{array}$$

-Genes D and F could be
A)located on different chromosomes.
B)located very near to each other on the same chromosome.
C)located far from each other on the same chromosome.
D)Both A and B
E)Both A and C

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genes D and F have a recombination frequency of 50%, which suggests they are either on different chromosomes or far apart on the same chromosome, making both A and C possible.
