Abstract

Learn to make predictions about inheritance using map unit distances and genetic markers, assemble maps from multiple-point linkage data, define the relationship between linkage maps, linkage groups and genome maps, and describe how DNA or molecular markers are observed and used in gene mapping.

Objectives - Linkage Part 2

In this lesson you will learn to make predictions about inheritance using map unit distances and genetic markers, assemble maps from multiple-point linkage data, define the relationship between linkage maps, linkage groups and genome maps, and describe how DNA or molecular markers are observed and used in gene mapping.

At the completion of this lesson you will be able to:

  1. Make predictions about inheritance using map unit distances and genetic markers.
  2. Assemble maps from multiple-point linkage data.
  3. Define the relationship between linkage maps, linkage groups and genome maps.
  4. Describe how DNA or molecular markers are observed and used in gene mapping.
