A)Genes are arranged in a linear order on chromosomes.
B)Recombination occurs between chromosomes.
C)There is a mathematical relationship between the distance separating two genes and the recombination frequency.
D)Mapping is used to establish the location of genes relative to each other.
E)Mapping is used to determine the composition of a gene.

Accepted Answer

Genetic mapping is used to establish the location of genes relative to each other and to determine the distance between genes. It does not provide information about the composition of a gene. That is achieved through methods such as DNA sequencing.
