Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genetic recombination as a result of crossing over occurs more readily in genes that are located far apart on the same chromosome. This is because genes located close together on the same chromosome tend to be inherited together due to linkage, while genes that are farther apart have a greater chance of being separated during meiosis via crossing over.
