Chromosomal Basis of Inheritance Linked Genes Sex-linked Genes Some review Where are genes located in cells? This has an affect of how genes are passed to offspring Mendel did not know this. Thomas Hunt Morgan was the first to study the inheritance of genes taking into account the fact that genes are on chromosomes Fruit Flies • Morgan used fruit flies (Drosophilia melanogaster) • Why did he pick them? – Many traits to track – Reproduce quickly – Have three pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes The phenotype that is seen most often in flies is called wild type (they have a + sign after them) The alternative trait is called Linked Genes • Linked genes are genes located on the same chromosome – These deviate from Mendel's law of independent assortment An Example with Fruit Flies In fruit flies, the gene for body color (b) and wing size (vg) are on the same chromosomes. All wild genes are dominant • Wild type fruit flies have gray bodies and normal size wings • Mutant fruit flies have black bodies and small wings An Example with Fruit Flies In fruit flies, the gene for body color (b) and wing size (vg) are on the same chromosomes. All wild genes are dominant • Wild type fruit flies have gray bodies and normal size wings • Mutant fruit flies have black bodies and small wings So… • When genes are linked you see a higher proportion of parental phenotypes • However, Morgan observed that not all flies from this cross looked like the parents? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? REVIEW: What is Crossing Over Discovery About Linked Genes • The farther apart two genes are, the higher the probability that a crossover will occur. – WHY? • The greater distance between genes the more places crossing over can occur The distance between genes was defined as map units where one map unit equals 1% recombinant frequence A Question • The genes b (body color), vg (wing size) and cn (cinnabar eye color) are on the same chromosome cn and b recombination frequency 9% cn and vg recombination frequency 9.5% b and vg recombination frequency Draw a map (linkage map) of these genes on a chromosome Maxiumum Crossover Percentage • Genes can be so far away from each other that it virtually certain they will cross over. – The maximum recombination frequency is 50% These genes are considered genetically unlinked (even though they are on the same chromosome) and follow the rules of independent assortment
