    Thomas Hunt Morgan worked on Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies) to explain how the process of sexual reproduction produced variations. He preferred to work on fruit flies or Drosophila melanogasterfor the subsequent reasons: 1. It could be cultivated easily on a synthetic medium in the laboratory. 2. Exhibit a short lifespan (two weeks). 3. A si...

    Linkage

    Morgan noted that while crossing a set of characters, two genes did not follow Mendel’s law as they did not divide as per the law. The likelihood of achieving a parental combination if two genes are situated on the same chromosome was relatively higher in the subsequent generation in comparison to the non-parental combination. The physical connection of genes was referred to as linkage. Genes are said to be linked when genes for different traits are located in similar chromosomes and hence ar...

    Linkages can be classified into two types established on the absence or presence of non-parental combinations or new combinations, namely:

    Linkage is the tendency of genes present in the chromosome to stay intact and transfer to the next generation whereas crossing over is the exchange of chromosomal sections to disrupt built links and form new linkages. Linkages generate parental types and increases in age as the linkage increases. Crossing over generates recombinations and it decrea...

    Recombination is a process of producing new combinations of alleles by the recombination of DNA molecules. It is also referred to as genetic recombination, as there is an exchange of genetic material (DNA) between two different chromosomes or between different regions of the same chromosome. This process is observed in both eukaryotes and prokaryot...

    Recombination can be of the following two types: 1. Homologous Recombination This type of recombination occurs between chromosomes of similar sequences and is carried out during meiosis. 1. Non-homologous Recombination This occurs between chromosomes that are not similar. 1. Site-specific Recombination This is observed between very short sequences ...

    Let us take an example of freckles and red hair to understand the recombination of linked genes. Freckles and red hair happens in people because the genes for both are present on the same chromosome. During homologous recombination, the DNA is rarely split between the two genes. Although homologous recombination occurs a number of times, the two fe...

    Learn the concepts of linkage and recombination of genes, their types, examples and experiments. Linkage is the tendency of genes to stay together in the same chromosome, while recombination is the exchange of genetic material between chromosomes.

  6. A linkage is a system of connected levers or rods for transmitting or regulating a mechanism's motion. The steering linkage is the system that connects the steering wheel to the front wheels and allows the wheels to change direction in response to commands from the driver.

  7. [uncountable, countable] linkage (between A and B) the act of linking things; a link or system of links synonym connection. This chapter explores the linkage between economic development and the environment.
