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.
A genetic map shows the map distance, in cM, that separates any two loci, and the position of these loci relative to all other mapped loci. The genetic map distance is roughly proportional to the physical distance, i.e., the amount of DNA between two loci.
16 gru 2021 · Alfred Sturtevant hypothesized that alleles that were closer together on a gene were more likely to be inherited together rather than alleles that were farther apart and used measurements of recombination between genes to create the first genetic map.
Gene mapping or genome mapping describes the methods used to identify the location of a gene on a chromosome and the distances between genes. Gene mapping can also describe the distances between different sites within a gene. The essence of all genome mapping is to place a collection of molecular markers onto their respective positions on the ...

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).
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),...
