Lecture 9 Flashcards
Linkage does what?
Keeps particular genes together
Linked genes
- located close together on the same chromosome
- belong to same linkage group
- do not assort independently
Crossing over does what?
mixes up genes
Read about
crossing over and linkage in ch 7
What is recombination?
the sorting of alleles into new combinations
original combinations of alleles
nonrecombinant gamestes
new cominations of alleles
recombinant gametes
How do you know if something assorts independently?
Mix two homologous
Independent assortment has different ratios than
something that has experienced crossing over
crossing over occurs
in meiosis
recombinatnt chromosomes can be found in?
anaphase I
In meiosis II, genes that are normally linked?
will then assort independently and end up on different gametes
Test Cross: If genes are linked
- gametes that contain only original combinations of alleles present in the parents are non recombinatnt gametes or parental gametes = MD and md
- progeny display original combinations of traits found in parents (p generation) and are non recombinatnt progeny or parental progeny
EX
Test Cross: If genes are NOT linked
EX MD and md are non recombinant gametes Md and mD are recombinant gametes MmDd and mmdd are non recombinant progeny Mmdd and mmDd are recombinant progeny
What do testcross reveal?
the effects of linkage
If genes are completely linked
NO crossing over.
independent assortment ratio
9:3:3:1
After a single crossover has taken place:
- two chromatids that did not participate are unchanged
- gametes that receive these chromatids are nonrecombinants
- two chromatids that did participate contain new combinations of alleles
- gametes that receive these chromatids are recombitnants
For each meiosis in which a single crossover take place:
-two nonrecominant gametes and two recombinant gametes will be produced (same as if there is independent assortment)
If there is no crossing over:
Only nonrecombinant gametes will be produced
What frequency of recombinant gametes is always?
half the frequency of crossing over… the max proportion of recombinant gametes is 50%
What does a single crossover produce?
-half nonrecombinant gametes and half recombinant gametes
Recombination frequency =
of recombinant progeny / total number of progeny X 100%
coupling:
- wild-type alleles are found on one chromosome and mutant alleles are found on the other chromosome
- AKA: cis configuration
- p+b+/pb
