2. Overview: Locating Genes Along Chromosomes Mendel’s “hereditary factors” were genes, though this wasn’t known at the time Today we can show that genes are located on chromosomes The location of a particular gene can be seen by tagging isolated chromosomes with a fluorescent dye that highlights the gene Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

3. Concept 15.1: Mendelian inheritance has its physical basis in the behavior of chromosomes Mitosis and meiosis were first described in the late 1800s The chromosome theory of inheritance states: – Mendelian genes have specific loci (positions) on chromosomes – Chromosomes undergo segregation and independent assortment The behavior of chromosomes during meiosis was said to account for Mendel’s laws of segregation and independent assortment Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

10. Morgan found that body color and wing size are usually inherited together in specific combinations (parental phenotypes) He noted that these genes do not assort independently, and reasoned that they were on the same chromosome Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

11. Genetic Recombination and Linkage The genetic findings of Mendel and Morgan relate to the chromosomal basis of recombination Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

15. Mapping the Distance Between Genes Using Recombination Data: Scientific Inquiry Alfred Sturtevant, one of Morgan’s students, constructed a genetic map, an ordered list of the genetic loci along a particular chromosome Sturtevant predicted that the farther apart two genes are, the higher the probability that a crossover will occur between them and therefore the higher the recombination frequency Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

16. A linkage map is a genetic map of a chromosome based on recombination frequencies Distances between genes can be expressed as map units; one map unit, or centimorgan, represents a 1% recombination frequency Map units indicate relative distance and order, not precise locations of genes Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

19. Concept 15.4: Alterations of chromosome number or structure cause some genetic disorders Large-scale chromosomal alterations often lead to spontaneous abortions (miscarriages) or cause a variety of developmental disorders Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

20. Abnormal Chromosome Number In nondisjunction, pairs of homologous chromosomes do not separate normally during meiosis As a result, one gamete receives two of the same type of chromosome, and another gamete receives no copy Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

24. Alterations of Chromosome Structure Breakage of a chromosome can lead to four types of changes in chromosome structure: – Deletion removes a chromosomal segment – Duplication repeats a segment – Inversion reverses a segment within a chromosome – Translocation moves a segment from one chromosome to another Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

26. Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21) Down syndrome is an aneuploid condition that results from three copies of chromosome 21 It affects about one out of every 700 children born in the United States The frequency of Down syndrome increases with the age of the mother, a correlation that has not been explained Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Red = maternal; blue = paternal. + Each chromosome has hundreds or thousands of genes. Four ( A, B, C, F ) are shown on this one. The alleles of unlinked genes are either on separate chromosomes (such as d and e ) or so far apart on the same chromosome ( c and f ) that they assort independently. Genes on the same chromo- some whose alleles are so close together that they do not assort independently (such as a, b, and c ) are said to be linked.
