What is the difference in the likelihood of linkage between two genes with a lod score of 2 and two genes with a lod score of 3?

What will be an ideal response?


Linkage is 10 times more likely with a lod score of 3 than with a lod score of 2 because the number is based on the log10 of the ratio.
