| In maize, the colored endosperm and smooth aleuron are controlled by the dominant C and S genes, while the unstained endosperm and wrinkled aleuron are controlled by their c and s recessive alleles. When maize plants were crossed, one of which had colored endosperm and smooth aleuron, and the other had uncolored endosperm and wrinkled aleuron, offspring were obtained, 96.4% of which were non-recombinant individuals. Determine the distance between genes C and S.
The distance between genes C and S is 3.6% crossing over.
