What is the theory behind gene linkage?
a. the heterozygote should have the dominant phenotype b. the law of independent assortment always prevails c. genes that reside on the same chromosome should be passed together during meiosis dominant alleles should be passed together to the gametes e. segregation leads to new combinations of alleles in the gametes
Where the alleles for given trait are inherited from?
The alleles for a given trait are inherited from an individual's parents.
Can two alleles from different genes be inherited together?
These genes are inherited together, the alleles are not. And keep in mind that both the mother and father contribute to the child, so their allelic pairing may change the intended expression of the gene.
What do geneticists call alleles that are both expressed in the phenotype when they are together?
Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype. Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.
A trait which is inherited on sex chromosomes is?
Sex-linked traits have alleles that are passed from parent to child on a sex chromosome.
How is the distance between two genes related to the chance they are inherited together?
The distance between two genes is related to the chance that they might be inherited together, because they may be on the same chromosome. Genetic linkage is the tendency of certain loci or alleles to be inherited together. Genetic loci that are physically close to one another on the same chromosome tend to stay together during meiosis, and are thus genetically linked.
What is an allele inherited on a sex-chromosome?
A gene found on a sex chromosome is known as a sex-linked gene. Alleles are the different forms of a gene.
An organism's inherited alleles together form its?
Genome.

This occurs when specific alleles are inherited together?
Genetic linkage
What are both inherited alleles called?
Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype. Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.
Do chromosome pair separate into different sex cell the alleles of genes stay together?
No
What did Mendel make to determine a trait forms and their alleles were inherited together?
THE answer is Dihybrid Crosses
What is a linkage map in genetic studies?
Linkage is a term which describes the tendency of certain loci or alleles to be inherited together. Genetic loci on the same chromosome are physically close to one another and tend to stay together during meiosis, and are thus genetically linked.
