12. Recombination hotspots are positions in the genome where crossing over is much more likely to occur than in other places. Suppose that you’ve measured a distance of 10cM between two genes A and B in a model organism you study. You then edit the genome of that organism, and replace a small sequence between A and B by a sequence that has the same number of bases but that creates a recombination hotspot. If you measure the distance between A and B again, what will that distance be? A. More than 0cM but less than 10cM. B. 10cM. C. More than 10cM. There will be more recombination between A and B, and therefore more crossovers, increasing map distance. D. 0cM.
