Best Answer

Alfred Sturtevant, a 21 year old undergrad student of Thomas Hunt Morgan, invented the centimorgan as a way to quantify the relationship between the rate of recombination and the distance between genes.

1930s no specific date to clarify sadly... and they used it to make sure peoples genes werent to close so they wont end up with kids messed up

Who invented echo-sounding devices for mapping the ocean floor?

I think that Henry Hess invented echo-sounding devices for mapping the ocean floor. But I am not 100% sure that is the correct answer. LOL <3


Is recombination mapping and genetic mapping both means same?

Yes, it is the same. Its output is a genetic map with the right order of genes on the chromosome and their distances from each other measured in M (morgans) or cM (centimorgans), which displays the frequency of recombination between two genes.


What is the purpose of genetic mapping?

Genetic mapping is mapping genes to a specific location on a chromosome. therefore the purpose is that it helps to tell where on the chromosome a mutation is. For example if scientists find were on a chromosome a gene for a certain mutation, they can conduct gene therapy to replace it with a normal version of that gene. Basically it just tells scientists the location of a mutation so they can fix it more efficiently.


Who was the inventor of the genetic code?

If father is missing whos DNA can prove paternity?

Only his father, as the genetic line indicators only run through the male chromosomes. Using a brother will not work, but you're talking about a very expensive test as it would be genetic mapping and not just establishing paternity. In a related interest story, genetic mapping was use to establish that an African tribe had Jewish origins.


What are the differences in genetic mapping between haploid and diploid organisms?

As simply as possibly, the difference in genetic mapping between haploid and diplois organisms are the genes. The haploid organism has only one allele which is either dominant or recessive, while the diploid organism has two alleles of which one is dominant and the other recessive.
