15.3 Flashcards
1
Q
Linked Genes
A
Genes located near each other on the same chromosome that tend to be inherited together in genetic crosses.
2
Q
Unlinked Genes
A
Genes located on different chromosomes.
3
Q
Genetic Recombination
A
The production of offspring with a combination of traits that differ from those found in either P generation parent.
4
Q
Parental Types
A
Offspring that are expected to inherit a phenotype that matches either of the phenotypes of the P generation.
5
Q
Recombinant Types/Recombinants
A
Offspring with new combinations of alleles from the P generation.
6
Q
What does crossing over account for?
A
The recombination of linked genes.
7
Q
Genetic Map
A
An ordered list of the genetic loci along a particular chromosome.
8
Q
Linkage Map
A
A genetic map based on recombination frequencies.
