5 Terms

1
New cards

Recombination

Any process in a diploid cell that generates new allele or chromosomal combinations

2
New cards

Synteny

Two or more genes are located on the same chromosome and thus physically linked to one another, despite how far apart they are on the chromosome

3
New cards

Gene Linkage

Two or more genes located near each other on the same chromosome that tend to be transmitted as a unit

4
New cards

Syntenic Block

Evolutionary conserved regions of chromosomes that display the same order of genes in different species ie. are connected the same

5
New cards

Map Units

Measurement that correlates the amount of recombination seen with the distance between genes, where 1 m.u. = 1% recombination
