crossing over and independent assortment Flashcards
reciprocal cross
flipping genotypes of male and female parent
are reciprocal crosses different on autosomes?
no, the results are the same
are reciprocal crosses different on sex chromosomes?
yes
dihybrid cross
crossing two traits
- 4 combinations of gametes after meiosis
test crosses
homozygous recessive parent with an unknown parent
hemizygous genotypes
only one copy of the X gene in males
when does crossing over occur?
prophase I of meiosis
what does crossing over result in?
2 recombinant and 2 nonrecombinant chromosomes at the end of meiosis II
what do recombinant chromosomes show?
nonparental combination of alleles
what affects recombination frequency?
physical distance between 2 genes
what happens when the 2 genes on the chromosomes are close together?
they are less likely to cross over
what is the range for frequency of recombination?
0% - 50%
