Genetic Distance Calculator

To calculate the Genetic Distance using the Genetic Distance Calculator:

1. Enter the number of recombinant gametes (RG) in the first field.
2. Enter the total number of gametes (G) in the second field.
3. Click "Calculate" to compute the Genetic Distance (GD). The result will be displayed in the field below.

Genetic Distance Formula

The formula used to calculate the Genetic Distance (GD) is:

\[ GD = \frac{RG}{G} \]

Where:

• GD is the Genetic Distance.
• RG is the total number of recombinant gametes.
• G is the total number of gametes.

Example Calculation

If there are 50 recombinant gametes out of a total of 200 gametes, the Genetic Distance would be:

\[ GD = \frac{50}{200} = 0.25 \]

Importance and Usage

Genetic Distance is a measure used in genetics to determine the likelihood of recombination between two loci on a chromosome. It is important for understanding genetic linkage and mapping the relative positions of genes.

This calculator simplifies the process of determining Genetic Distance, making it useful for genetic research and studies in biology.
