Ture or flase: non allelic genes located on Non-homologous can cross over?


This question has been eating me alive, any thought?? thanks

 

[WayneSU]

False....unless its a mutation

That's what I thouhgt... 🙂 , does anyone think that it might be true? and why??

 

[Mstoothlady2012]

only homologous chromosomes can undergo crossing over...so definitely false

thanks!!

thanks for the replies

Here is another question:

True or false: frequency of crossing over increases when the allelic genes are linked?


I think false... since the closer the genes are the less frequency of cross over right???
any thought?

Correct, thats false. If the genes are linked, crossing over does not occur. And the further they are, the more likely they will cross-over.

False
