Gene Linkage and Genetic Maps

The video explores the chromosome theory of inheritance, focusing on early experiments with x-linked genes. It discusses how linkage affects inheritance, highlighting Morgan's experiments with fruit flies. The video explains independent assortment, crossing over, and recombination, leading to the development of genetic maps by Sturtevant. These concepts paved the way for understanding gene loci and recombination frequencies, supporting the chromosome theory of inheritance.
