A morgan is a unit of genetic map distance: an expected value of one exchange along the transmitted chromatid in the interval. One morgan equals 100 centimorgans; it does not mean a recombination fraction of one.
A centimorgan is one hundredth of a morgan. For a sufficiently short genetic map interval, one centimorgan corresponds approximately to a recombination fraction, rather than an exact identity for all intervals.
