Title: How do you determine recombinant frequency for 2 genes on the x-chromosome? Post by: BuhReddy on Sep 6, 2012 I understand how to determine RF for genes that are autosomal but cannot figure out how to do it for x-linked genes. Since males only have one X chromosome they can only have one allele of the gene and therefore cannot be recombinants. So if only female individuals can be recombinants how do i determine RF??
Thanks! Title: Re: How do you determine recombinant frequency for 2 genes on the x-chromosome? Post by: sperl on Sep 22, 2012 Use this formula:
Recombination frequency = # recombinant gametes/total gametes. Also, see the attachment. |
