Question:
Three genes x, y, and z are located on a chromosome in a linear order. If the recombination frequencies between x and y is 0.15, and between y and z is 0.10, then the expected frequency of double crossovers is __________(rounded off to three decimal places).

Correct Answer: 0.015
Solution and Explanation
The frequency of double crossovers is the product of individual recombination frequencies:
Double crossover frequency\( = 0.15 Γ 0.10 = 0.015.\)
