Linkage, Recombination, and Crossing Over
... Since each crossover gives 50% recombinants, the chiasma count implies a total male genetic map length of 2450 cM. Chiasmata are more frequent in female meiosis and the total female map length is 4296 cM (excluding the X). Thus over the 3000 Mb autosomal genome, 1 male cM averages 1.05 Mb and 1 ...
