Linkage group • A linkage group is a linearly arranged group of linked genes which are normally inherited together except for crossing over during cell division. They act and move as a unit rather than independently. • Because ...
• Linkage has been found to be complete or incomplete depending upon the absence or presence of nonparental or new combinations of linked genes. Complete linkage • Complete linkage is a linkage or grouping of genes on a ...
• Although Gregor Mendel developed his ground : breaking principles of inheritance in the mid-1800s, the importance of his work went largely unnoticed by the scientific community until the early 1900s. • At that ...

Mendel’s Experiment – Monohybrid Cross Monohybrid cross is a cross made to study simultaneous inheritance of a single pair of Mendelian factors. In other words, the cross in which only alternate forms of a single character are taken into ...
• Character is a well defined morphological or physiological feature of an organism. • Trait is the ...
Gregor Mendel Biography Gregor Johann Mendel (1822-84) was born to a peasant family in the Central European village of Heinzendorf. The ...
In general, one gene affects a single character. But many genes are known to affect more than one character. Such genes are called pleiotropic genes and the condition is called Pleiotropy. An example of a gene in human beings ...
The classical phenotypic ratio resulting from the mating of dihybrid genotypes is 9:3:3:1. This ratio appears whenever the alleles at both loci display dominant and recessive relationships. The classical dihybrid ratio may be modified if one or both ...
Mendel studied the pattern of inheritance using several true-breeding varieties of garden peas. He concentrated on transmission of seven easily identified traits, and crossed plants showing alternate aspects of each of these(e.g., tallness and dwarfness; ...
