Meiosis:
Georgia Performance Standards:
• Using Mendel’s laws, explain the role of meiosis in reproductive variability.
Essential Questions:• How does meiosis generate variation in offspring?

Forever Linked?
• Some genes appear to be inherited together, or “linked.”
• If two genes are found on the same chromosome, does it mean they are linked forever?
• Study the diagram, which shows four genes labeled A–E and a–e, and then answer the questions on the next slide.

Linked Genes Warm-up
1. In how many places can crossing over result in genes A and b being on the same chromosome?
2. In how many places can crossing over result in genes A and c being on the same chromosome? Genes A and e?
3. How does the distance between two genes on a chromosome affect the chances that crossing over will recombine those genes?

Linked Genes:
• It’s easy to see how genes located on different chromosomes assort independently, but what about genes located on the same chromosome?
• Wouldn’t they generally be inherited together?

Linked Genes
• First, each chromosome is actually a group of linked genes.
• Second, Mendel’s principle of independent assortment still holds true.
• It is the chromosomes, however, that assort independently, not individual genes.

Genes and Linkage:
• If two genes are found on the same chromosome, does this mean that they are linked forever? Not at all.
• Crossing-over separates genes that had been on the same chromosome onto homologous chromosomes.
• Crossover events
– separate and exchange linked genes
– produce new combinations of alleles
– it helps to generate genetic diversity.

Gene Maps
• A gene map shows the relative locations of each known gene on a chromosomes
• Recombination rates
– measure the frequencies of crossing-over between genes
– used to construct genetic maps
• Ex: human genome map

Checkpoint Questions:1. How does the principle of independent assortment
apply to chromosomes?
2. What are gene maps, and how are they produced?
3. How does crossing-over make gene mapping possible?
4. If two genes are on the same chromosome but usually assort independently, what does that tell you about how close together they are?
