chromosome. Genetic Linkage is the phenomenon that genes close together on a chromosome tend to be
transmitted as a unit, which influences inheritance patterns
Another name for a Chromosomes are called ‘linkage groups’. They contain a group of genes that are linked

Genes that are far apart on the same chromosome may independently assort from each other.
This is due to crossing overs
• A dihybrid cross studies linkage between two genes
• A trihybrid cross studies linkage between three genes

However, if these two traits

linked genes, you would
expect a small proportion of

The first direct evidence of linkage came from
studies conducted by Thomas Hunt Morgan.
Morgan investigated several traits that followed
an X-linked pattern of inheritance in Drosophila

– Eye color
– Wing length
Both X chromosomes in Dros. Are active.
Morgan observed a much higher
proportion of the combinations of traits
found in the parental generation.
Morgan’s explanation:
All three genes are located on the X chromosome. Therefore, they tend to be transmitted
together as a unit .
Morgan made three important hypotheses to explain his results
1. The genes for body color, eye color and wing length are all located on the X-
chromosome. They tend to be inherited together.
1. Due to crossing over, the homologous X chromosomes (in the female) can exchange
pieces of the chromosomes. This created new combinations of alleles.
2. The likelihood of crossing over depends on the distance between the two genes. Crossing
over is more likely to occur between two genes that are far apart from each other.

ways. Recombinent offspring: produced by crossing over between two homologous chromosomes
leading to different combination of alleles compared to the parent.
Genetic mapping Also known as gene mapping or chromosome mapping. Its purpose is to determine the linear
order of linked genes along the same chromosome. Each gene has it own unique locus at a
particular site within a chromosome.
Genetic maps useful: 1. They allow us to understand the overall complexity and genetic organization of a
particular species
2. They can help molecular geneticists to clone genes
