linked genes
gene alleles that are close together on the same chromosome
tendency to be inherited together
can be used to identify genes
linkage group
all the genes on a chromosome
parental
gametes that contain the same combination of alleles as the original chromosomes
recombinant
gametes that contain a new combination of alleles that results from crossing over during meiosis
closer
the closer/farther genes are, the rarer the crossover events between them
50%
what is the highest percentage of recombinants possible for all cases?
cis
genes are on the same chromosome
trans
genes are on different chromosomes
phasing
determining which variants are from the same copy of a chromosome and which are from different copies of a chromosome
number of recombinants/total number of offspring
recombination frequency equation
some meioses are ncos
the recombination frequency is less than 50 when
no meioses are ncos
the recombination frequency is equal to 50 when
