Linkage maps are constructed by using recombination frequencies between genes. Recombination is the process by which two homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material during meiosis. The frequency of recombination between two genes is proportional to the distance between them on the chromosome. Therefore, linkage maps can be constructed by measuring the recombination frequencies between genes.
