Gene locus A is 12mu from gene locus X35 and 24mu from gene locus p2. Therefore, you can be confident that gene locus X35 is about 12mu from gene locus p2. TRUE OR FALSE

Respuesta :

Answer: false

Explanation:

we can say that the genetic map has 2 options

A …12 mu …X35 …12 mu … p2

with the fact of knowing the location of a single gene we can define the distances that the genes have, as in the previous graph, however when the "A" gene is located in the middle of the map the distance of the X35 gene will no longer be 12 mu with respect to the locus p2 gene and the X35 gene will have 36mu with the locus p2 gene

X35 … 12 mu … A …24 mu …p2

When finding the gene "A" is in one of the genetic maps, we can affirm that the answer is correct

A …12 mu … X35 …12 mu …p2
