7.4: Crossovers Allow Recombination of Linked Loci - Biology

Thus far, we have only considered situations with either no linkage (50 recombination) or complete linkage (0 recombination). It is also possible to obtain recombination frequencies between 0 and 50 , which is a situation we call incomplete (or partial) linkage. Genes that are on the same chromosome are said to be syntenic regardless of whether they are completely or incompletely linked.
