Watch crossovers happen in a simulated meiosis, then use the resulting gamete counts to estimate recombination fractions and convert them to map distances with the Haldane and Kosambi functions. A three-point cross solver walks through finding gene order from the rarest double-crossover class and computing interference, and a LOD score tests whether two genes really are linked. A linkage disequilibrium panel shows how association between loci decays over generations, and three depth levels fit different backgrounds.
