What is gene linkage?
Gene linkage is where genes that are located near each other in a chromosome become linked together afterwards due to meiosis.
What is a Linkage map?
An association between two or more genes such that the traits they control tend to be inherited together.Or more simply:A genetic map based on recombination frequencies.
What happens if Independent Assortment does not happen?
Then your assortment is not independent. It means that the genes/chromosomes are not being randomly mixed, and that there are traits that would tend to move together...
The trait of an organism is controlled by what?
The traits an organism displays is a result of their genetics. Recessive traits tend to not show in many organisms.
How much DNA do crows share with Humans?
To my knowledge, the crow genome has not been sufficiently analyzed for a definite answer. The process of complete genome analysis is time consuming and expensive, so scientists have been selecting organisms that are highly used in research for genome analysis. That said, the genome of the chicken has been mostly completed. Given that chickens aren't that much closer to or further from humans than crows, the DNA similarity between humans and chickens is at least in the same ballpark as humans and crows. The chicken genome is about 1/3 the size of the human genome (1.2Gb instead of 3.4 Gb) but this is not due to much to birds having fewer genes as having mostly the same genes more compactly arranged in chromosomes. My own experience (I have a little experience with chicken genetics) has been that chicken genes tend to be about 75-85% identical with human genes.
What is gene linkage?
Gene linkage is where genes that are located near each other in a chromosome become linked together afterwards due to meiosis.
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 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.
Genes that belong on the same linkage group tend to be what?
found only in males
Are diseases inherited from the mother or father's side of the family?
Inherited or genetic diseases can be inherited from either side of a family. Some diseases tend to inherit through a mother, some through a father, and some from whichever parent carries the gene regardless of sex.
Why do Hindu's tend to to worship together?
they do because they do
Is a dominant trait seen in the first generation or the second generation?
Dominant traits tend to manifest whenever they are inherited. The real question is, "When do you see recessive traits?" Traits are coded in genes. We all inherit genes from both of our parents. If the dominant trait is capital Y and the recessive trait is lowercase y we can calculate the odds fairly easily. There are only four combinations that can be inherited from one pair of parents: YY, Yy, yY, and yy (this is usually visualized using a "punnet square"). Only in the case of both inherited traits being lowercase y will we see the recessive trait. Otherwise, we will usually see the dominant trait.
Why do organisms tend to have traits similar to their parents?
Organisms tend to have traits similar to their parents from genetics .. for example, you could have your father's hair, and your mother's eyes. But if you don't.. you're either adopted or something is going on with your body called genetic mutation. It's when your parent's genes merge to create singular genes.
Why microbes grow resistant?
by growing them or giving them same antimicrobial drug, bacteria tend to mutate or change their genes which helps them in resisting the drug and those genes also passes from one cell to another.
What does 'Birds with the same feather flock together' mean?
Birds with the same feather flock together means that like people tend to associate with each other. Those that like sports tend to hang together and those that like video games can be found together.
