Document Summary
10:57 pm linked genes: genes on the same chromosome linkage: the phenomenon of genes being located on the same chromosome. 11. 1a the principles of linkage and recombination were. Dtermined with drosophila groups of genes that tend to assort together in crosses were believed to be carried on the same chromosome. Morgan suggested that the two genes are linked genetically the behaviour of these linked genes is explained by chromosome recombination during meiosis frequency of this recombination is a function of the distance between linked genes. 11. 1b recombination frequently can be used to map. 11. 2 sex-linked genes sex-linked genes: gene located on a sex chromosome that are inherited differently in males and females autosomes: chromosome other than a sex chromosome in humans, chromosomes 1-22 are autosomes. 11. 2a females are xx and males are xy. >6 weeks, the embryos are the same in xx and xy.
