What is the unit of measurement for distance of genes?
cM = centiMorgans
2
New cards
Why is genetic mapping important?
Genes for harmful mutations can be hunted BUT distances between genetically mapped traits are usually large
3
New cards
Heterochromatin in terms of genetic and physical distancing
There is a short genetic distance compared to physical distance
Crossing over is LESS likely to occur near telomeres or centromeres
4
New cards
Euchromatin in terms of genetic and physical distancing
Long genetic distances compared to physical distance
Regions where crossing over is more frequent are expanded
