Question

If the map distance between genes J and K is 20 map units and the map distance between genes K and L is 35 map units, what is the map distance between genes J and L?

Answer 1

Answer:

The map distance between genes J and L is 55 map units

Explanation:

Map distance between genes J and K = 20 map units

Map distance between genes K and L = 35 map units

Map distance between genes J and L = map distance between genes J and K + map distance between genes K and L = 20 map units + 35 map units = 55 map units
