Solution

The correct option is C

Recombination frequency of each gene locus


Alfred Sturtevant, who was T.H. Morgan’s student, calculated the crossover percentage of two genes. This crossover percentage is called as frequency of recombination between gene pairs on the same chromosome. It is used as a measure of the distance between genes.
