By finding recombination frequencies for many gene pairs, we can make linkage maps that show the order and relative distances of the genes on the chromosome. Introduction. In general, organisms have a lot more genes than chromosomes. For instance, we humans have roughly 19, 000 genes on 23 chromosomes (present in two sets) 1 .
Figure 11.2.2 A typical and simple gene map shows the relative distances among three genes, A, B and C. The distance between genes A and B is shown as 8 map units, the distance between genes B and C is shown as 12 map units, and therefore the distance between genes A and C is 20 map units.

In Sturtevant's gene map, six traits are arranged along a linear chromosome according to the relative distance of each from trait B. Traits include yellow body (B), white eyes (C, O),...
This means that a genetic map distance does not necessarily indicate the physical distance between two markers (see Figure 5.22). Also, we now realize that a single chromatid can participate in more than one crossover at the same time, but that there are limitations on how close together these crossovers can be, leading to more inaccuracies in ...
A genetic map indicates the relative distance between genes or markers, represented by the recombination value and measured in cM. A physical map highlights the physical distance between genes or markers, the distance unit is a length unit, such as micrometers (μm) or base pair numbers (bp or kp).
20 cze 2023 · The genetic map distance is roughly proportional to the physical distance, i.e. the amount of DNA between two loci. For example, in Arabidopsis , 1.0 cM corresponds to approximately 150,000bp and contains approximately 50 genes.
