The recombination frequency between the genes a & c is 5%, b & c is 15%, b & d is 9%, a & b is 20%, c & d is 24 and a & d is 29%. What will be the sequence of these genes on a linear chromosome?

Solution
Recombination frequency is the frequency with which a single chromosomal crossover will take place between two genes during meiosis. A centimorgan (cM) is a unit that describes a recombination frequency of 1%.
Recombination frequency between genes
ac – 5 %
bc – 15 %
bd – 9 %
ab – 20 %
cd – 24 %
ad – 29 %
