Solution

The correct option is A 11.2 m.u
The recombination frequency for this crossbreed is

= number of recombinant progenytotal number of progeny ×100

= 44+68548+340+44+68 ×100

= 11.2 %

1% recombinant frequency is equivalent to 1 centimorgan or 1 map unit or m.u.
Therefore the distance between a and b genes is 11. 2 m.u.
Answer D is correct.
