Genetic Linkage & mapping in eukaryotes 4 Flashcards
Synteny
Two or more genes are located on the same chromosoome (physically linked)
Genetic linkage
Genes that are close to each other tend to transmitt together as linked genes
Genes on the same chromosome that are close to each other are ________________
Physically linked (Can’t independently assort)
When genes on the same chromosome are _____________ then independent assortment can happen
Far apart
In an 9:3:3:1 ratio how many offsprings will have the parental phenotype?
10 ( 9 will have the dominant trait & 1 will have the recessive trait)
In ______________ the domiant trait will show the most in a data and then the recessive trait will be the second most to show in a data
Linked genes
In _______________ genes the dominant trait will show the most in a dat & the recessive trait will show the least (9 domiant, 1 recessive) (9:3:3:1)
Independent assorted
If linked genes are ___________ independent assortment will occur but the rate of independent assortment will depend on the distance apart
Far Apart
Independent assortment of linked genes leads to crossing over which results in ________________
Recombinant geneotypes & offsprings
Crossing over occurs in ___________ where the homologous sister chromatids pairs up & each one switch a fragment with each other
Prophase 1 in meiosis 1
Recombinants
Combinations of genotypes that are different from the parents
Why doesn’t crossing over occur within sister chromatids?
Because sister chromatids are identical to each other therefore won’t have any genetic diversity
The likelihood of crossing over between two genes depends on the ________________
Distance between them
If two genes are __________ the crossing over will occur
Far apart
If two genes are _________ then crossing over wont happen
Close together
A _____________ can be used to determin if two genes are linked or not
Chi square test
If the chi sqaure value is ______ then can agree that the genes are not linked & they are indenpendly assortted
Low
What is the null hypothesis when determine if genes are linked or not?
That they are not linked & assort independly
If the chi square test is ______ then have to reject the null hypothesis & agree that the genes are linked
High
Genetic mapping
Determines the linear order & distance of seperation among genes that are linked to each other on the same chromosome
The goal of a test cross is what?
To determine if recombination has occured
What is the equation for map distance (or % recombination)?
Map distance (% recombination) = # of recombinants/ total offspring x 100
m.u. is the same as ___________
% recombinant
If no crossing over happens then the genotype would be the same as ________________
The parents
How can you tell genes are linked when looking at a data?
When the two parental phenotypes are the 1st highest & second highest
How can you which numbers in a data represents a single cross over?
The numbers that are 3rd & 4th highest (common ones after the two parental phenotypes)
How can you tell which number represents a double crossover in a data?
The lowest number represents a double crossover
When a single crossover occurs what happens/
The two genes on the end changes but not the middle gene
In a double cross over what happens?
Only the middle gene changes
If it says what is the frequency (%) of a certain parental gene what do you have to do?
Fidn the total frequency(%) of parental genes & divde it by to for the certain parental gene
When you find the total % recombination what should you do?
Divide that number by 2 so you have the % recombination for each recombinant
How do you find the % recombination in a double cross?
Multiple the two single % recombination together
How would find the total % or amount of offsprings that will have the parental genotype (no crossover)?
100- all the single cross over % - double crossover %
Interference (I) represents what?
The amount or % of double crossover that didnt occur
What is the formula for interfernce?
I = 1- C
(C- coeffiecient of coincidence which tell the % or amount of double crossover that did occur)
What is the formula to calculate C in interfernce?
Observed # of double crossover/ expected # of double crossover
Interference is used for what type of crossing over?
Double crossover
When you see the words recombinant genes what does that tell you?
That crossing over has to occur (usually single crossover if middle gene stays the same)
