Document Summary

Chromosomal theory of heredity = scientific support of mende"s laws = chromosomes held smaller genetic particles and each particle is responsible for a single mendelian trait; genes are located on chromosomes. Significance of gene linkage: linkage does not permit the breeders to bring the desirable characters in one variety, linked characters are maintained for generations because linkage prevents the incidence of recombination. If gene is cloned it could be studied: explain the cytological bases for mendels factors is similar during meiosis, gamete formation, and fertilisation: Chromosomes in diploid organisms are in pairs mendel"s factors are in pairs in an. Sex cells contain only 1 chromosome each in one sex cell there is only one mendel"s inheritance factor. One chromosome of each pair is received from mother and the other one from father .
