Consider the coupling double heterozygote,
. When
recombination doesn't happen,
and
occur in equal
frequency (
), and
and
don't occur at all. When
recombination happens, the four possible gametes occur in equal
frequency (
). So the recombination frequency,4
, is
half the crossover frequency,5
, i.e.,
. Now the results of
crossing over can be expressed in this table:
| Frequency | ||||
