When does crossing over occur
Prophase of meiosis 1
What dictionates the relate chance of a CO
Physical space
coupling heteozygote
dominant and reccesive genes on same chromosome
repulsion hetereozygote
dominant or recessive genes not on same chromosome
leptomnema
chromosome duplicated
synaptonemal comples begins to appear
zygonema
pairing initiated
synaptonemal complex develops more fully
crossing over initiated
pachynema
pairing is completed
chromosomes thicken
crossing over proceeds
diplonema
repulsion between homologues begins
chiasmata clearly visible
crossing over at chiasmata and centromere
crossing over completed
Diakinesis
Maximum chromosome thickening occurs
chiasmata dissappear
chromosomes move to equatorial plane
map units =
recombinants/total
