Explain genetic linkage. The chromosomes above represent two possible outcomes of a crossing over event during meiosis. When genes are located on the same chromosome the tendency to sort together is based on how far apart they are from one another. Scenario 1 shows what might happen if alleles are located close together – the genes stay together during gamete formation. Scenario 2 shows what might happen if alleles are located far apart – the genes can form new combinations due to a higher chance of crossing over. Explain genetic linkage.
