Question 1

Dihybrid Cross

Answer 1

• used to observe the inheritance of alleles and phenotypes
• for two genes

Question 2

Unlinked Genes

Answer 2

• genes that are located on different chromosomes
• or are far apart on the same chromosomes that are being inherited together

Question 3

Linked Genes

Answer 3

• found close together on the same chromosome
• likely to be inherited together

Question 4

Map Units

Answer 4

• measure of how far apart the two genes on the same chromatids are
• closer the genes are, more likely to be linked genes
• farther away the genes are, less likely to be linked genes

Question 5

Recombinant Chromosome

Answer 5

• is not identical to one of the homologous chromosomes
• only in a diploid cell

Question 6

Parental Chromosomes

Answer 6

• contains the same combination of alleles as one of the parents’ chromosomes
