Genetic mapping is the of
the location of genes in a
chromosome.

determining the recombination
frequency several different
linked genes is possible to estimate
distance between them in
chromosome. For example, if gene A
has a frequency of 20%
with gene B, thisgene B
recombination frequency of 5% the
gene C and gene C has
recombination of 15% with
the A, it is possible assert that
the gene is 20 centimorgans distant
the gene B and between them
lies the C at 15 centimorgans
distance from the gene .
