Which conclusion is a result of Thomas Hunt Morgan’s research with fruit flies?

• Chromosome assortment during meiosis is not random.

• Linked genes are located on the same chromosome.

• The physical distance between genes can be determined.

• Genes recombine independently during mitosis.

Two genes on a given chromosome that are most likely to be inherited together are

• 6.8 map units apart.

• 10 map units apart.

• 2 map units apart.

• 18.5 map units apart

Suppose that the distance between two genes on a linkage map is 7 units. The cross-over frequency between the two genes is

• 0.7%

• 7%

• 70%

• 700%

Given the crossover frequency of each of the following genes, construct a chromosome map.  

Gene    Frequency of Crossover

A-C            30%

B-C            45%

B-D            40%

A-D            25%

• A - B - C - D

• B - D - A - C

• B - A - D - C

• C - A - D - B
