Recombination Frequency Calculator

Formula

To calculate the recombination frequency:

\[ RF = \frac{RCO}{TO} \times 100 \]

Where:

\( RF \) is the recombination frequency (%)
\( RCO \) is the total number of recombinants
\( TO \) is the total offspring

Recombination Frequency Definition

The recombination frequency is defined as the ratio of recombinant offspring between two organisms. It is used in genetics to map the distance between genes on a chromosome.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Number of Recombinants (RCO) = 50
Total Offspring (TO) = 200

Using the formula:

\[ RF = \frac{50}{200} \times 100 = 25 \]

The recombination frequency is 25%.
