When comparing recombination rates between a dog with a genome size of 2410 Mb and a mustard weed with a genome size of 100 Mb, which would you expect to have a larger recombination rate per kilobase? Explain your answer
What will be an ideal response?
ANS:
Recombination rate per kb is negatively correlated with genome size. Thus, one would expect the mustard weed to have a larger per kb recombination rate.
