Example:
Let rAB = 0.2 = rBC.
If we ignore double crossovers, then rAB
+ rBC
= rAC
0.2 + 0.2 = 0.4
If we consider double crossovers,
then rAC
= rAB
+ rBC
- 2rABrBC
rAC
= 0.2 + 0.2 - 0.08 = 0.32

rAB
= proportion of recombinant gametes between A and B loci.
1- rBC
= proportion of parental types of gametes for the B - C combination
Probability(recombinant gametes between A and B, but parental type
for B-C loci) = rAB
(1-rBC)
= rAB-rABrBC
Prob.(Abc and aBC gametes = rAB - rAB rBC)
Probability(Abc gamete) = Probability(aBC gamete)
= 1/2(rAB
-rABrBC)
Probability(Abc and aBC gametes) using Haldane's notation
= m(1-n) = m - mn
Probability (Abc gamete) = Probability(aBC gamete)
=1/2(m-mn)
