If the crossover frequency between genes D and G is 32%, how many units apart are genes D and G on the chromosome?

1 answer:

8 0

Map Distance can be defined as the expression of the probability that crossing over will occur between two genes (loci) and it is measured as a Centimorgan (cM).
1 Centimorgan or 1 map unit is equivalent to 1% crossing over. So if recombinant frequency between genes Dand B is 32%, the distance between them is 32 map units or 32 cM.

During which phase of the cell is a cells DNA copied

MakcuM [25]

Explanation:

Hi there!

Cell cycle has 2 phases (i.e M-phase and Inter-phase). Interphase is considered to be the longest phase. Interphase also has G1-phase, S-phase and G2-phase. In cell cycle while moving from M-phase it has two option either to go in G1-phase or G0 phase. It it goes to G0-phase it doesn't go under cell division but if it goes to G1-phase it starts to prepare materials required to replicate or copy DNA. After preparing all the material it goes in S-phase and copies DNA. It doesn't go to G2-phase until it copies DNA perfectly. Then it goes to G2-phase. In this phase it prepares material for replication of other cell organelles.
