BIOL 2081C Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Synapsis, Synteny, Linkage Disequilibrium
Document Summary
Many genes on a chromosome are close enough together that they do not follow mendel"s laws of. Genes said to be linked are almost always inherited together from generation to generation. Lecture 12 and 13, but the pre-class assignments differ. Be sure to prepare for class by completing each day"s pre-class assignment. Reading assignment: hartl, sections 5. 1 - 5. 3, and 5. 5. Genetic distance is a value used to reflect a degree of genetic divergence: two populations with identical allele frequencies for a given gene would have a genetic. Pre-class assignment: from memory-draw a cell at the beginning of meiosis with two duplicated homologous chromosomes. Now illustrate a cross over between two of the chromatids (as a rule, we will always draw the crossing over between the two internal chromosomes). Now draw the two diploid cells that will result from the 1st meiotic division. Finally, draw the 4 haploid gametes that will result after the 2nd meiotic division.
