Lecture 10: Gene Linkage and Recombination for chromosome mapping
Lecture 11: Tetrad Analysis, Mitotic Recombination and Genetic Mosaics
At the end of this unit you should be able to:
- Understand the difference in inheritance patterns between independently assorting genes and linked genes
- Understand the assumptions that are used to develop mapping functions
- Understand there is a relationship between genetic distance between genes and physical distance
- Understand the assumptions used in the analysis of three-gene test crosses and compute the outcomes of three-point test crosses by solving word problems
- Understand that the biology of an organism must be understood in order to map genes on achromosome
