Term
Define Syntenic

During the crossing of Drosophilia what was Morgan's main conclusion?

during meiosis alleles of some genes assort together because they lie near each other on the same chromosome

crossing over
Term
the closer the genes are the(less or more) likely there will be a recombination event between them

INDICATES LINKAGE OF THE GENES
Term
Define chiasma
Definition
the place on a homologous pair of chromosomes at which a physical exchange is occurring , basically the site of crossing over 
Term
The reciprocal exchange of chromatid segments at corresponding positions along homologous chromosomes: the process involves  the breakage and rejoining of two chromatids

Crossing over
Term
Morgan postulated that a relationship existed between  the production of phenotypic classes in F2 Progeny and what else?
Definition
and the formation of the chiasma during meiosis
Term
T/F: Crossing over is not universally accepted due trials which made Morgan's theory incorrect

False: Crossing over is universally accepted
Term
What stage does crossing over occur at?
Definition
The Four chromatid stage in prophase 1 in meiosis
Term
What type of markers are cytologically detectable,   deliver visible changes in the chromosomes that make it possible to distinguish the chromosomes. Hence, the results of crossing over under the microscope is possible
Definition
Physical Markers
Term
The study of corn by Harriet Creighton and Barbara McClintock studied what kind of genes?
Definition
X linked genes that have different shape
Term
Is there an exchange if cytological markers in the parental class?

No
Term
1st evidence for crossing over came from what experiment?
Definition
Corn  Harriet and McClintock
Term
2nd Evidence for crossing over was from ?
Definition
Curt Stern on Drosophilia melanogaster 
Term
in the cross of chromosomal exchange in Drosophilia melanogaster  done by Stern was there any chromosome parts exchanged?
Definition
yes 
Term
A)The proof that genetic recombination occurs when crossin over takes place during meiosis came from what sort of expiriments?
Definition
Experiments in which the parental chromosomes differed with respect to both the genetic and cytological markers.
Term
 Experiments in which parental chromosomes differed with respect to both the genetic and cytological markers  showed what about the markers invovled?
Definition
that whenever recombinant phenotypes had occured the cytological markers indicated that crossing over had also occured.
Term
Does crossing over occur before meiosis?
Definition
No it occurs in ProphaseI one during the tetrad stage when the chromatids are loosely aligned
Term

Place in order Holiday Model for Reciprocal genetic recombination:

1. Branch migration occurs in thsi case to the right and 4 arm structure follows when chromosome ends are pulled apart

2. Single strand of each DNA breaks and invades other DNA

3.Gaps crossed strands sealed by enzymes to for Holiday Intermidiate

4. Recognition & alignment of homologous chromosomes

5. Redrawn Holiday Intermediate

6.Gapped helices are produced

7. Holiday intermediate is cut by endonuclase in horizontal or vertical plane

8. Clevage product gaps are sealed by enzyme activity

Definition
4, 2,3,1,5,7,6,8
Term
If there are too many parental phenotypes and too few recombinants and this deviation is significant what does that tell you about the linkage of the genes?
Definition
they are linked
Term
T/F: crossing over occurs between homologous chromosomes
Definition
FALSE: crossing over only occurs between non homologous chromosomes. 
Term
Chi Square Test is used to determine what?
Definition
If the two genes are UNLINKED
Term
IF P < .05 the deviation from expected values is or is not statically significant and is or is not due to chance?
Definition
it is significant and it is NOT due to chance
Term
If P<.05 do you reject or accept independent assortment . Are genes possibly linked or unlinked
Definition
reject, linked
Term
T/F: Frequency of recombinants is the same no matter how genes are arranged relative to each other on the chromosome
Definition
True
Term
If P> .05 what does that tell you
Definition
it is not statistically significant and could have occured by chance alone

In a two point test cross, the value of reombinations is more accurate if genes are closer of further apart on the chromosome..
Definition
close together
