Same-chromosome alleles or RFLP markers tend to inherit together {linkage}| {genetic linkage} {linkage group} in meiotic recombination, mitotic replication, and prokaryote binary fission. Closer markers are less likely to separate during DNA recombination and so are more likely to inherit together. Linkage frequency depends on distance between loci.
finding distance from linkage
Known genetic linkages show relative loci distances. Distances are in centimorgans. Markers less than five centimorgans have less than 1 in 20 chance to separate.
