Chromosome Theory of Inheritance |
A basic principle in biology stating that genes are located in chromosomes and that the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis accounts for inheritance patterns. |
|
Wild Type |
An individual with the normal (most common) phenotype. |
|
Linked Genes |
Genes located close enough together on a chromosome to be usually inherited together. |
|
Parental Types |
The genetic make up, or set of alleles, of an organism |
|
Recombinant Types (recombinants) |
An organism that is heterozygous with respect to two genes of interest. |
|
Crossing Over |
An organism that is heterozygous with respect to a single gene of interest. |
|
Genetic Map |
An offspring with a phenotype that matches one of the parental phenotypes. |
|
Linkage Map |
An offspring whose phenotype differs from that of the parents; also called recombinant types. |
|
Map Units |
The reciprocal exchange of genetic material between nonsister chromatids during prophase I of meiosis. |
|
Cytogenic Maps |
Breeding of an organism of an unknown genotype with a homozygous recessive individual to determine the unknown genotype. The ratio of phenotypes in the offspring determines the unknown genotype . |
