Document Summary

The tendency for genes to be inherited together due to their location on the same. Mendel"s second law, that of independent assortment, applies to genes that are on. With two independently assorting genes (i. e. unlinked genes) we expect a 9:3:3:1. However alleles of genes that are close together on the same chromosome tend to be inherited together, i. e. they do not assort independently at meiosis. chromosome is called linkage. Genes that are very close together are said to be closely linked and have a high probability to be inherited together. Those with lower probability to be inherited together are loosely linked. The degree of linkage is proportional to the distance between genes on chromosomes and can be measured precisely in units called map units. If a deviation from these ratios is observed, we suspect that linkage is involved. Example: in tomato hairlessness (hl) on the stem is controlled by a recessive allele of the hairlessness gene.

Related Questions

The syntenic genes A and Z are linked. A cross between two parents, AAzz and aaZZ, produces F₁ progeny with the AaZz genotype. What are the possible arrangements of alleles on the F₁ progeny's chromosomes?

A/Z or a/z

The answer is not AZ/az

Genes that are on the same chromosome can assort independently when

they are very close together on a chromosome and crossing over occurs rarely between the genes.

they are far apart on a chromosome and crossing over occurs rarely between the genes.

they are far apart on a chromosome and crossing over occurs frequently between the genes.

they are syntenic.

Genes on the same chromosome cannot assort independently.

Please help me with these two!

1. What is the chromosome theory of inheritance?

2. Understand how independent assortment can cause gametes to have four combinations of alleles when an individual is heterozygous for two genes on two different chromosomes.

3. What are linked characters and linked genes? Understand why linked genes will not independently assort.

4. How can crossing over affect linked genes?

5. What are recombinant gametes?

6. Define recombinant frequency. Be able to use the recombinant frequency to determine how close two genes are on a chromosome.

7. What is a linkage map?

8. What is the function of the SRY gene on the Y chromosome? What happens if you don't have this gene?

9. Know how sex is determined in mammals, birds, bees and ants, and reptiles.

10. How many autosomes and sex chromosomes do normal human haploid and diploid cells have?

11. What does it mean for a gene to be X-linked or Y-linked?

12. Be able to answer word problems and fill out a Punnet square involving an X-linked recessive trait.

13. Which sex is more likely to have an X-linked recessive disorder? Understand why.

P.s The most simple answer would be preferable. I would be copping the notes over that you will provide to my noteb book and add my details to it.

Which of these statements is incorrect?

Syntenic genes are located on the same chromosome.

Independent assortment results in recombinant chromosomes.

You can reliably predict the relative genetic distance fromgenesâ physical distance on a chromosome.

Linked genes are always syntenic.

What is the relative genetic distance between two linked genesif the recombination frequency is 0.49?

0.49 cM

4.9 cM

49 cM

490 cM

What statement best explains the distortion in Mendelian ratiosobserved by Bateson & Punnett in 1905? (Reminder: they found anoverrepresentation of F2 offspring showing both dominant orrecessive phenotypes, and an underrepresentation of offspringdisplaying one dominant and one recessive phenotype)

Human error: they should have been more careful about theirexperimental setup.

Gene linkage: Genes for flower color and pollen shape arephysically close on the same chromosome, leading to a breakdown inthe independent assortment of the alleles for these traits.

Chromosome crossover: Homologous recombination of twochromatids during meiosis caused the alleles to shuffle, resultingin a breakdown of the independent assortment of the alleles forthose genes.

Random variation: No two situations are alike. In finitepopulations, you are going to get some variation across a mean.

When determining the relative genetic distance between twogenes, why is dihybrid back-cross preferable over traditionaldihybrid cross?

9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio is easier to work with than 1:1:1:1ratio.

Genotypes of the offspring can be determined based on theirphenotype.

If the genes are independently assorted, the dihybrid back-crosswould result in only 2 genotypes in the F1 generation.

B and C

Why do we map genes?

To understand how genes interact with each other

Comparative genomics analysis

To determine the genotype of an organism

All of the above
