Question

DNA markers that are found to segregate with a mutation of interest can be used to determine the mutation’s distance from the markers by looking at what? DNA markers that are found to segregate with a mutation of interest can be used to determine the mutation’s distance from the markers by looking at what? reverse mutation frequency forward mutation frequency single crossover frequency recombination frequency

Answer 1

The correct option is D: recombination frequency

Step-by-step explanation:

The recombination mapping technique makes it possible to measure the distance between the DNA marker and the locus where the mutation lies. For better accuracy at measuring this distance, multiple families have to be studied - families that are affected by the mutation of interest.
