Centimorgan
A centimorgan is a unit used to measure genetic linkage.

Centimorgan (cM): A unit of measure of recombination frequency. One centimorgan is equal to a 1% chance that a marker at one genetic locus will be separated from a marker at a second locus due to crossing over in a single generation.

CentiMorgan (cM) The unit of distance in genetic maps. Over short distances, if two genes are 1 cM apart then they will recombine on average 1% of the time.

The Centimorgan is also often used to imply distance along a chromosome, but the number of base-pairs it corresponds to varies widely. In the Human genome, it is about 1 million base pairs[2] [3]. .

Linkage map
A map of the relative positions of genetic chromosome, determined on the basis of how often the loci are inherited together. Distance is measured in centimorgans (cM).
