Q. The frequency of recombination between gene pairs on the same chromosome as a measure of the distance between genes was explained by

Principles of Inheritance and Variation

Solution:

Alfred Sturtevant was the first to explain the concept of chromosomal mapping. It is constructed on the basis of recombination frequency between gene pairs on the same chromosome. This frequency is directly proportional to the distance between these two genes.
It can be used to determine the exact location of a gene on the chromosome.
