MBG 2040 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Miosis, Y Chromosome, Meiosis
Document Summary
Independent assortment can mean that two genes are on different chromosomes. Genes a and b are on different chromosomes. Gametes produced by the test- cross parent: a b. Combine the gametes of the dihybrid parent with the gametes of the test-cross parent. Some genes are located near each other on the same chromosome. Genes a and b are on the same chromosome and are tightly linked. Instead of aabb, write the genotype to show linkage: Alleles in cis configuration (or alleles in coupling) Genes a and b are on the same chromosome and are tightly linked a. Instead of aabb, write the genotype to show linkage: ab. Alleles in trans configuration (or alleles in repulsion) Genes a and b are closely linked and crossing-over between them is occurring. a. Crossing over occurs in prophase of meiosis i. Numerous crossing-over events can occur between two homologous chromosomes. Bivalent or one crossing- over event is indicated here.
