Crossing over disrupts autosomal linkage between genes when they are far apart on the chromosome. The greater the distance, the higher the probability of a crossover event occurring between them, leading to new allele combinations in the gametes.
La recombinación genética puede romper el vínculo autosómico entre genes cuando estos están físicamente distantes en el cromosoma, ya que la probabilidad de que ocurra un entrecruzamiento entre ellos aumenta, permitiendo la formación de nuevas combinaciones de alelos.
