Question:

Researchers have discovered that some regions of chromosomes are much more likely than others to cross over. We might call such a region a "hot spot" for crossing over. Lets suppose that two genes, gene A and gene B, are 5,000,000 bp apart on the same chromosome. Genes A and B are in a hot spot for crossing over. Two other genes, let's call them gene C and gene D, are also 5,000,000 bp apart but are not in a hot spot for recombination. If we conducted two-factor crosses to compute the map distance between genes A and B, and other two-factor crosses to compute the map distance between genes C and D, would the map distances be the same between A and B compared with C and D? Explain.
