Neurospora loci d and f are located on the same chromosome.The d locus always segregates at M_I,while the e locus segregates at M_II at a frequency of 10%.Assuming complete interference,the distance between loci d and f is: A)5 map units. B)10 map units. C)20 map units. D)40 map units. E)45 map units.

The distance between loci d and f is 10 map units. This is because the frequency of recombination between the two loci is 10%, and the distance between two loci is equal to the frequency of recombination between them.
