The DNA gel picture shown below depicts the PCR banding pattern of two markers (M1 and M2). MI PI P2 FI 1 2 3 4 5 67 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 .= =-= -=--===--=-==.

The linkage distance is calculated by dividing the total number of recombinant gametes into the total number of gametes. This is the same approach we used with the two-point analys...
