The farther the distance the
loci of two in a chromosome the
the recombination frequency
between genes. This is true
once alleles are nearer the
chromosome it is probable that
they are united when chromosomal
extremities exchanged by crossing
over. the other hand, if are
farther apart it be easier for them
separate by crossing over.
