The recombination frequency between the genes A & C is 
, B & C is 
, B & D is 
, A & B is 
, C & D is 
and A & D is 
. What will be the sequence of these genes on a linear chromosome?

Since recombination frequency is directly proportional to the distance between genes, the values are used to locate genes on a chromosome.
Here, recombination frequency for 
and 
; for B and 
; for 
and 
is 
; for 
and 
is 
, for C and 
is 
and for A and D is 
.
As we can see that 
, i.e., 
which means that gene C lies in between genes A and B . Similarly, 
, i.e., 
which means that gene B lies in between genes C and D .Thus, the sequence of genes is A-C-B-D.
