Knowledge in Linkage

Chromosomal theory of linkage (bsc &12th syllabus )

Linkage theory (the way one negotiation influences or determines the process or outcome of another) can effectively explain the relationship between a negotiation and its relevant environment. The intensity of linkage between two genes is inversely related to the distance between them in the chromosome. Morgan also proposed that the coupling and repulsion as shown by Bateson and Punnet, are the two aspects of the same phenomenon i.e. linkage.Morgan formulated the chromosome theory of linkage according to which: ... The genes that are linked, stay on the same chromosome. c. The distance between the linked genes in the chromosome determines the strength of linkage. The closer the genes are located, stronger is the linkage.Genetic linkage is the tendency of DNA sequences that are close together on a chromosome to be inherited together during the meiosis phase of sexual reproduction. ... Markers on different chromosomes are perfectly unlinked.
