1. Chapter 11 Section 5 Linkage and Gene Maps AZ State Science Standard: S4C2PO3-Explain how genotypic variation occurs and results in phenotypic diversity Objectives: -Identify the structures that actually assort independently -Explain how gene maps are produced

2. Genes located on different chromosomes will assort independently (gametes)

3. What about genes located on the same chromosome? More often than not, those genes located close together on the same chromosome will be inherited together. What is the exception to this? – Area on the chromosome where crossing over and recombination occurs-

4. !!!Remember, Genes have specific locations on chromosomes!!!
