How to calculate ?
9+11+10+12
300100 = ?? WRONG !
Each MII tetrad (octad) has only HALF of its spores as recombinants !!
Therefore the correct distance is:0.5 (9+11+10+12)
300100 = 7 map units

Map distance between a gene and the centromere in ordered tetrads
Each MII tetrad (octad) has only HALF of its spores as recombinants !!
0.5 (9+11+10+12)300
100 = 7 map units
In general:0.5 (number of MII tetrads)
Total number of tetrads100 =
Meiosis of two genes in ordered tetrads

Or before DNA replication (2-strand stage) ?
Need to examine TOGETHER all 4 products of single/same meiosis
After DNA replication (4-strand stage) ?
Conclusion:The occurrence of TETRA-TYPEtetrads proves that crossing overtook place AFTER DNA replication
Prediction in terms of type of tetrads resulting from cross-over
ONLY Non-Parental Di-type
