Summary: Recombination between two genes on a chromosome happens in meiosis with some probability that is known as the recombination frequency
Matching search results: You can tell if the genes are linked by looking at the offspring. For example, let’s say that we breed our above parent with genotype RT/rt to a parent who is rt/rt. If the offspring are white and short, you know the first parent contributed rt. If
Summary: · Perfectly unlinked genes correspond to the frequencies predicted by Mendel to assort independently in a dihybrid cross. A recombination
Matching search results: In 1913, Alfred Sturtevant, a student in Morgan’s laboratory, created the first “chromosome map,” a linear representation of gene order and relative distance on a chromosome.To construct a chromosome map, Sturtevant assumed that genes were ordered
