Gene for altruism is automatically passed on to later generations even if it is so detrimental to an organism's well being.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Altruism involves doing everything selflessly without giving importance to our personal advantage. This type of behavior is somewhat influenced by our genes. If we or generous by nature then this might be the result of our genes.

Yes being an altruist is detrimental to one's own well being, but is not in anybody's hand to be an altruist. It is automatically in our genes. So this gene is automatically passed on to later generations.

Imagine that four genes on a single chromosome in a mutant phenotype of Drosophila cross over at half the normal rate as in the
lesantik [10]

We know that frequency of recombination is proportional with the distance between the genes on the chromosome. Therefore when the recombination rate is higher that means the distance between the genes on the chromosome is bigger. If the recombination rate is lower that means the genes are closer to each other on the chromosome. In this case the cross over rate is half the normal rate in the wild-type. That means that on the genetic map the distance between the two genes on the wild type will be twice bigger than the genes of the mutated Drosophila.
