Genetic distancec. OrientationCurrent LectureLinkage and gene mapping- Linkage group is used to describe the genes that locate on the same chromosome- Since homologous chromosomes have the same gene in the same order, they belong to the same linkage group- How many linkage groups for a man? For a women?o Man = 24, Women = 23- How many linkage groups for a species of AABB, 2n=4X=28?o 14 linkage groups- AAAA, 2n=4X=28?o 7 linkage groups Gene Mapping1. Linkage group2. Genetic distance between genes3. Orientation of genesHow do we know if two genes are linked or unlinked?Ab:aB:ab:AB= 1:1:1:1 Rf= (Recombined/Total) = 0.5If A and B are on the same chromosome, they can arrange in two configurations F1 (AaBb)- Based on the genotype of F1, do we know if this is coupling or repulsion?o No- Based on the genotype of F1, do we know gene A and gene B are linked?o No- SO we need to know the genotypes of the parents- Nonrecombinant gametes (parental gametes)o Ab and ab- Recombinant gameteso AB and ab- Total of the parental genotype gametes are more than the non-parental onesGenetic Distance- Genetic distance is measured by recombination frequency- Rf= (10/100) = 0.1 = 10%- 10% recombination frequency = map distance of 10 map units (cM)A Three-Point Test Cross-
