Recombination frequency. The frequency at which crossing over occurs between two chromosomal loci--the probability that two loci will become unlinked during meiosis.
Recombination Frequency = 2 × number of wild-type plaques (strain K plaques) ÷ total number of plaques (on strain B).

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.
The distances on the genetic map are measured in centimorgans (cM), a measure of the recombination frequency between loci. The greater the distance between two loci, the greater the probability a meiotic recombination event will occur.
You use what we call genetic markers, and the markers will tell you, okay, based on what you see, the recombination frequency, etc., the gene has to be between marker X and marker Y.
Create a detailed genetic map of every human chromosome, with an average of 2-5% recombination frequency between markers.
