Centimorgan (cM): A unit of measure of genetic recombination frequency. One cM is equal to a 1% chance that a marker at one genetic locus will be separated from a marker at another locus due to crossing over in a single generation. In humans, 1 cM is equivalent, on average, to 1 million base pairs. The centimorgan is named after the pioneering (and Nobel Prize winning) geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan.
The metric prefix centi- means one hundredth (1/100). So 1 centimetre is one hundredth of a metre. Thus 100 centimetres are required to make 1 metre. cm is short for centimeter, and the prefix centi means 1/100. Therefore, there are 100 cm in a meter. nanometer = 1â1,000,000,000 of a meter = 10-9 meters. 1 angstrom = 1/10,000,000,000 of a metre = 10-10 meters. 1 picometer = 1â1,000,000,000,000 of a meter = 10-12 meters. In everyday use, the most important of these are mega (106, rarely used in metres), kilo, centi, milli.
