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.
