F1: RrLl Purple flowers Long pollen F2: Total of 381 offspring P1: RRLL x rrll Purple flowers Red flowers Long pollen Round pollen Chapter 5: Linkage and Gene Mapping Bateson & Punnett and sweet peas:
Linkage and Gene Mapping *Independent assortment- during gamete formation segregating pairs of unit factors assort independently of one another *Linkage – condition in which two or more genes tend to be inherited together
NP 100 TOTAL An example of linkage: Crossover results in gametes containing non-parental (NP) genotypes: R L r l r l r l X RrLl rrll Progeny: *Complete linkage *Linkage ratio
R L Even if CO occurs 100% of the time, recombination is only observed in ½ of the gametes (or 50%) Chromosome Mapping Frequency of recombinants (RF) measures the genetic distance between loci 11 m.u. Theoretical limit to distance between genes is 50m.u.
