Can linked genes ever be separated?

crossing over(recombination)


What is linked genes in a sentence?

The genes present on same chromosomes are sometimes linked to each other that inherit collectively are linked genes and can be separated by crossing over


When crossing-over occurs what genes stay together?

linked genes


Genes that r closer together are more likely to be separated by a crossover event in meiosis is that falso?

false


How can new combinations of alleles be created when genes are linked?

New combinations of alleles can be created when genes are linked through a process called crossing over during meiosis. Crossing over occurs when homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material, resulting in the mixing of alleles between the two chromosomes. This process leads to the creation of new combinations of alleles and contributes to genetic variation in the population.


If nondisjunction occurs in meiosis II for one chromosome what will be the result at the completion of meiosis?

Some gametes may have an extra copy of some genes.


Explain how crossing over can unlink genes?

crossing over can unlink genes because when crossing over occurs it a portion of one chromosome is replaced by a region of a homologous chromosome and during this the alleles that were presently on that linked gene could possibly be separated


What is X-linkage?

Genetic linkage is the tendency of genes that are located proximal to each other on a chromosome to be inherited together during meiosis. Genes whose loci are nearer to each other are less likely to be separated onto different chromatids during chromosomal crossover, and are therefore said to be genetically linked.


How are genes made by meiosis?

Genes are not made by meiosis. Genes are sequences of DNA found on the chromosomes.


What are the properties of linked genes?

Genes are called linked when they are physically close to each other on the same chromosome. Their physical proximity limits or prevents recombination between them at meiosis, so they usually appear to be transmitted together.The distance between linked genes can be estimated by the frequencies of recombinations due from crossing over during Prophase I of meiosis


What assorts independently during meiosis?

Genes assort independently if they are on different chromosomes. If a pair of genes are on the same chromosome, it depends on how far apart they are to determine the chances of them staying together or moving apart.


The frequency with which crossing over occurs between two linked genes depends on?

How far part they are
