Recombination Frequency

Genetic map distance in centimorgans.

Formula

RF=recombinantstotal offspring×100RF = \frac{\text{recombinants}}{\text{total offspring}} \times 100

Variables

Did You Know?

Recombination frequency measures how often genes get shuffled, letting geneticists map their positions on a chromosome.
