Recombination -

Morgan experimented and found that when the two genes in a hybrid cross situated on same chromosone, the proportion of parental gene combination were much higher than the non-parental type..

Based on this observation, he coined the term recombination.

- wherein

To describe the generation of non-parental gene combinations

 

 

 

Cross B in Morgan's Experiment -

In cross B, genes were loosely linked and showed higher recombination.

- wherein

White and miniature wing showed 37.2% recombination.

Cross B in Morgan's Experiment

 

 

 

Genetic Maps -

Genetic maps are widely used as a starting point in the sequence of whole genomes.

- wherein

In a genetic map, the frequency of recombination between genes pairs on the same chromosomes is a measure of the distance between genes, and 'mapped' their positions on the chromosomes.

 

 

Recombination is not easy for tightly linked genes on the same chromosome.
