Gene    Frequency of Crossover

A-C            30%

B-C            45%

B-D            40%

A-D            25%

• A - B - C - D

• B - D - A - C

• B - A - D - C

• C - A - D - B

According to _______, genes that are closer together on a chromosome, have a higher chance of being inherited together.  

• Gene Linkage

• Polygenic

• Pleiotropy

• Epistasis

What is genetic recombination?

• The combination of genes produced by crossing over and independent assortment.

• A map that shows the sequence of genes on a chromosome.

• When genes located close to each other on the same chromosome tend to travel together during meiosis.

• The occurrence of one or more extra sets of chromosomes.

What is Hybridization?

• breeding an organism with a known genotype with an unknown genotype and using the offspring to determine the unknown.

• Breeding organisms to create hybrids.

• Breeding 2 closely related organisms.

• A process of selecting desired traits to be passed on to offspring.

What is polyploidy?

• The combination of genes produced by crossing over and independent assortment.

• A map that shows the sequence of genes on a chromosome.

• When genes located close to each other on the same chromosome tend to travel together during meiosis.

• The occurrence of one or more extra sets of chromosomes.

What is a Test Cross?

• breeding an organism with a known genotype with an unknown genotype and using the offspring to determine the unknown.

• Breeding organisms to create hybrids.

• Breeding 2 closely related organisms.

• A process of selecting desired traits to be passed on to offspring.
