Definition: The unit of linkage that refers to the distance between two gene loci determined by the frequency with which recombination occurs between them. Two loci are said to be one centimorgan apart if recombination is observed between them in 1% of meioses.
Context: Where d- distance between markers and r is the recombination fraction. d is calculated as 'Kosambi estimate which can be converted into centiMorgans by multiplying with 100 for construction of linkage maps.
