Solution

The correct option is B position
The crossover percentage determines the frequency of recombination between gene pairs on the same chromosome. It is used as a measure of the distance between genes and the relative position of a gene on a chromosome. It helps in the construction of a linkage map of a chromosome.

Q. A scientist performed the gene mapping experiments in maize. He mapped the genes on chromosomes on the basis of % crossing over between different genes. One map unit corresponds to one % crossing over or recombination. The genes showing more than 50% recombination were not supposed to be linked on same chromosome. In crossing over studies on maize, scientist observed the following % crossing over between genes A, B, C, D: between A and D 10%, between A and C 3%, between genes C and D 7%, between genes A and B 5%, and between genes C and B 8%. On the basis of above observation, find out the correct sequence of genes A, B, C and D on chromosomes.
