L25 (Slide 1 - 21) & L26 (Slide 26 - 49) Linkage, Recombination & Mapping
- Understand and be able to define:
- Linkage
- Independent assortment
- Crossing over
- Outputs of recombination when given (i) parental input types, (ii) recombinants & (iii) frequency of recombination
- centiMorgan
- testcross
- Be able to describe why linked genes do not assort
independently
- Understand the process of meiotic recombination and how
to assess non recombinants and recombinants.
Law of Segregation
"Cells contain 2 copies (alleles) of each gene located on homologous chromosomes at the same loci
These homologous chromosome segregate randomly during meiosis, therefore their alleles also segregate randomly during meiosis - each gamete only carrying one form of each allele
Dihybrid Crosses
- Dihydrib is a heterozygote for two genes
- Example: double heterozygote (A/a, B/b)

Law of Independant Assortment
“Allelic Pairs (alleles which code for different genes and are both located in close proximity at the same loci on the same chromsome) will segregate/assort independently of other allelic pairs during meiosis/recombination"
Alleles at different loci separate independently of one another
-
A and B are pairs of alleles, yet they encode for different genes
