A) Length of the particular chromosome
B) Number of genes present in the particular chromosome
C) Number of nucleotides in the particular chromosome
D) Percentage of crossing over or recombinant frequency between the two genes
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Alfred H Sturtevant, one of Morgans students, used the frequency of recombination or percentage of crossing over between gene pairs on the same chromosome as a measure of the distance between genes and mapped their position on the chromosome. This technique is based on the assumption that the farther apart two genes are on a chromosome, the higher the probability that a cross over will occur between them.
