Abstract
Published data on chiasma frequency distributions have been analyzed to estimate the relationship between age and chiasma frequency. Evidence is obtained for a curvilinear relationship describable by a polynomial of order 3 or 4. Published data on age and recombination in the HL-A systems are compatible with such a relationship, but numbers are not high enough for convincing statistical tests.Keywords
