Cloze Linked Genes

Linked genes located on the same chromosome tend to be inherited together in successive generations. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes can undergo crossing over and recombination where parts of the chromosomes exchange and rejoin, resulting in new combinations of genes not present in the parents. Gene mapping determines the position of genes in chromosomes by observing the effects of crossing over during meiosis.

LINKED GENES, CROSSING OVER AND RECOMBINATION

Locus The locus of a gene is its Linked Genes are those genes on the

on a chromosome. chromosome.

Linkage is the tendency for a group of genes located on the same chromosome to be inherited in successive generations. Homologous Chromosomes Homologous chromosomes are of chromosomes. Humans have pairs of chromosomes in their body cells. Crossing Over and Recombination may occur during meiosis, when parts of homologous chromosomes and rejoin, so that the combinations of genes in the offspring were not present in the Gene Mapping is the process of determining the position of genes in chromosomes, by using observations from the crossing over of chromosomes.
