Document Summary

Using gene location on chromosome to understand and predict cross resilts. Some genes did not segregate randomly according to mendel"s principle of independent assortment. Morgan - genes are "coupled"/"lnked" if present on the same chromosome (inherited together) Different genes independently separate from one another during gamete production. Alleles of genes on the same chromosome are "coupled"/attached to each other. If true - linked alleles would be inherited together and progeny would always inherit. In experiment, "are linked genes inherited together?" was tested. If yes then half of the flies would have wild type phenotype and the other half would have yellow body white eyes. Results showed that linked genes are not always inherited together, instead of the 2 phenotypes that were expected to be seen - new combinations were seen. Sorting of alleles into new combination - resulting progeny allel combination are different from paternal combinations. Recombination frequency (rf) - percentage of r progeny or gametes.
