eponymously devised by J. B. S. Haldane, the number of chromosomal crossovers is distributed according to a Poisson distribution, a genetic distance of d centimorgans will lead to an odd number of chromosomal crossovers, and hence a detectable genetic recombination, with probability
:
:where sinh is the hyperbolic sine function. The probability of recombination is approximately d/100 for small values of d
