Is recombination mapping and genetic mapping both means same?
Yes, it is the same. Its output is a genetic map with the right order of genes on the chromosome and their distances from each other measured in M (morgans) or cM (centimorgans), which displays the frequency of recombination between two genes.
A 0.1 percent frequency of recombination is observed?
In genes located very close to one another on the same chromosome.
Why does recombination between linked genes continued to occur?
New allele combinations are acted upon by natural selection
What does a frequency of recombination of 50 percent indicate?
A recombination frequency is a measure of how likely it is that two genes are linked. It will also tell how likely it is that a crossing over event will occur between those two genes. Thus, for an RF=50% it is random as to whether or not the genes will be inherited together or whether crossing over will separate them (i.e. they independently assort). Traditionally, following Mendel's Second Law (that alleles of genes independently assort), an RF=50% means that the two genes are on different chromosomes; a slightly more complicated corollary is that the two genes need not be on different chromosomes but may be on the same chromosome just very far apart from each other. Thus, the smaller the RF (maximum RF is 50%), the more likely it is that two genes are linked.
Why does the frequency of cross-overs give information about the relative locations of genes?
its simple the crossing over of genes ha a location looc for a chromosomes with a different chromatid you have the location

Suppose that the distance between two genes on a linkage map is 7 units The cross over freguency between the two genes is?
If the distance between two genes on a linkage map is 7 units, the cross over frequency between the two genes is still 7 units.
A 0.1 percent frequency of recombination is observed?
In genes located very close to one another on the same chromosome.
Why does recombination between linked genes continued to occur?
New allele combinations are acted upon by natural selection
What factors contributes to genetic variation between humans?
the genes that code for RNA and proteins...............

How does crossing over make gene mapping possible?
When genes are on the same chromosome but very far apart, they assort independently due to crossing over (homologous recombination). This is a process that happens at the very beginning of meiosis, in which homologous chromosomes randomly exchange matching fragments.
Genetic mixing of genes that result from crossing-over?
Recombination is the genetic mixing of genes that result from crossing over.
What is new gene combinations?
when genes cross over during meiosis, then split they from genes that differ.
What hypothesis was the basis of Sturtevant research?
Sturtevant's hypothesis was that the frequency of cross-overs during meiosis was related to the distance between genes
How are crossing over and recombination related?
Genetic recombination occurs during meiosis cell division. As genes cross over during this process, scientists track the genes to study their linkage.
