Document Summary
Linkage map = genetic map of a chromosome based on recombination frequencies. Notion of distance: map units; one map unit = 1% recombination frequency. Map units indicate relative distance and order, not precise locations of genes. How info from these molecules comes to life. Dna intro outline: dna = the molecule of heredity, the organization of dna in chromosomes. Quite simply, it is the information in your dna that directs the program that takes materials (sugars, fats, amino acids, etc. ) and turns them into you. Dna is also how we pass this program to our descendants. Much about cell chem (cells contain dna and proteins) The work of mendel, morgan and many others any findings suggesting chromosomes/dna contain hereditary info. The two strands are complementary, and together wind around in the form of a double helix. A nucleic acid is a polymer made of nucleotide monomers. The sugar and phosphate group are the same for all nucleotides.
