Chapter 7, Problem 24PDQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The importance of cytological markers (chromosomal knob and translocated segment) in Creighton and McClintock’s experiment.
Introduction:
A cytological marker is the one which can be readily detected by cytological techniques. Harriet Creighton and Barbara Mcclintock demonstrated in 1932 that the recombination of the genes which are linked to a chromosome needs the actual physical exchange of parts or segments of the chromosome with its homologue.

In Creighton and McClintock’s experiment demonstrating thatcrossing over involves physical exchange between chromosomes, explain the importance of the cytological markers(the translocated segment and the chromosome knob) in theexperimental rationale.
n corn, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. This phenotype renders the male part of the corn plants (i.e the tassel) unable to produce fertile pollen; the female parts, however, remain receptive to pollination by pollen from male fertile corn plants. However,
