Genetic map is one that:
  1. establishes sites of the genes on a chromosomes
  2. establishes the various stages in gene evolution
  3. shows the stages during the cell division
  4. shows the distribution of various species in a region

Solution

A genetic map is a type of chromosome map that shows the relative locations of genes and other important features. The map is based on the idea of linkage, which means that the closer two genes are to each other on the chromosome, the greater the probability that they will be inherited together. Related Theory In genetics, a centimorgan (cM) or map unit (m.u.) is a unit for measuring genetic linkage. It is defined as the distance between chromosome positions (also termed loci or markers) for which the expected average number of intervening chromosomal crossovers in a single generation is 0.01.
