What is a meaning of genetic linkage? How this test is used? Describe the meaning of SNP (single nucleotide polymorphisms) and genetic distance identification which is used in genetic analysis. Knowing that recombination events occur more or less at random along the length of chromosomes, in which case the recombination will occur more frequently between the genes during meiosis: if two genes are closer together
Genetic Recombination
Recombination is crucial to this process because it allows genes to be reassorted into diverse combinations. Genetic recombination is the process of combining genetic components from two different origins into a single unit. In prokaryotes, genetic recombination takes place by the unilateral transfer of deoxyribonucleic acid. It includes transduction, transformation, and conjugation. The genetic exchange occurring between homologous deoxyribonucleic acid sequences (DNA) from two different sources is termed general recombination. For this to happen, an identical sequence of the two recombining molecules is required. The process of genetic exchange which occurs in eukaryotes during sexual reproduction such as meiosis is an example of this type of genetic recombination.
Microbial Genetics
Genes are the functional units of heredity. They transfer characteristic information from parents to the offspring.

Knowing that recombination events occur more or less at random along the length of chromosomes, in which case the recombination will occur more frequently between the genes during meiosis:
- if two genes are closer together
- two genes are far away from each other
- there is no impact based on location of two genes.
