Independent assortment: Alleles of genes on nonhomologous chromosomes assort independently
during gamete formation.
Segregation: The two alleles for each gene (on
homologous chromosomes) separate during
gamete formation.
Linkage: Genes which are carried on the same
chromosomes tend to be inherited together.
Crossing over may separate linked genes.
Chromosome map: Shows the genes on one
chromosome and how close together they are.

recap
In Labradors black(B) is dominant to brown
coat(b) and blindness (n) is recessive to normal
vision (N).
As these two genes are on different
chromosomes they move independently into
gametes depending on how they line up along
the equator.
If two dogs were bred which were heterozygous
for each trait what possible gametes could
form?
What percentage of each gamete should form?
Did you know?
 The
number of genetic variations possible
in our sperm and eggs thanks to
independent assortment is 223 or 8388608
– that is before we add in variation due to
crossing over or mutation.
Linked genes





Are genes which are on the same chromosome.
They do not show independent assortment unlike
genes on different chromosomes.
During Anaphase two, these genes travel to the
same gamete together.
Linked genes have different phenotype ratios in
gametes than genes on different chromosomes.
Linked genes only become separated if crossing
over occurs between the two gene locii.
Gene Maps
 Tell
us three things…
1. What genes are linked
2. What genes are on the chromosome
3. How close genes are to each other and
the likelihood of them being separated
by crossing over.
See the sample human gene map.
Sex Linkage
A sex linked condition on the Y chromosome will
not show in females. XY’
X linked recessive traits show up more in males
as they only have one X chromosome so if they
gain that allele from their mother, they will have
that trait. X’Y
For a female to show an X linked trait they must
have two copies of the allele. X’X’
Examples of sex linked traits: haemophilia, red
green colour blindness, muscular dystrophy
Example Exam Question
Discuss how and why the different processes
that can occur during meiosis can lead to
genetic variation between individuals.
Take into account the following:
• independent assortment
• segregation
• recombination / crossing over.
