Chapter 10, Problem 5WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effect of the linked genes on the law of independent assortment.
Introduction:
Linked genes are present on the same chromosome and are inherited together. Thomas Hunt Morgan first studied the traits of linked genes in 1900 in fruit flies.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following is true for linked genes?
a) Alleles of linked genes are often inherited together.
b) Alleles of linked genes are randomly segregated into gametes due to
independent assortment.
O c) Linked genes are on the same chromosome, but far apart.
Linked genes are located on different chromosomes.
In the classic "X" figure of the chromosome, is the whole X from one parent, or is one side of the X from the mother and the other side from the father?
If each gene is located on a specific chromosome and that chromosome has two pairs (homologous chromosomes), how does each chromosome represent one allele and why do you label each chromatid with the same allele?

- What is chromosome theory of inheritence?arrow_forwardWe say that genes that are close together on the same chromosome are linked. What does that mean? Imagine that in a diploid nucleus, one chromosome has the allele R and right next to it on the same chromosome is the allele T for a different gene. Are these linked? Imagine that r is right next to t on the homologous chromosome. If this cell never undergoes meiosis, does this matter at all? If it does undergo meiosis, what are the two genotypes that the gametes are most likely to have?
