Are b and sp linked?
• These genes are so far apart, that they assort
independently from one another.
• b and sp appear to be unlinked even though they are
on the same chromosome!

Everyone in the class drew crossovers somewhere between A/a and D/d,
yet the overall % recombinants for the class was only ~50%. If we look
at a large enough sample, even genes that are very far apart on the same
chromosome cannot show more than 50% recombinant products.
Need to look closer at meiosis itself to see why.
What is the maximum recombination frequency in any interval?
Parental
Recombinant
Recombinant
Parental
Reminder… one crossover gives 2
parental, 2 recombinant gametes
The range of possibilities: tightly linked independent assort.
Consider 100 cells undergoing meiosis…
if one cell has a crossover
2 recombinant
out of 400
0.5%
if 10 cells have crossovers
20 recombinant
out of 400
5.0%
if all cells have crossovers
200 recombinant 50%
out of 400
Maximum recombination frequency =
50% for single recombination events
What is the maximum recombination frequency in any interval?
The effect of multiple crossovers:
# xovers
resulting gametes
2
(2 strands)
2
(3 strands)
2
(4 strands)
= 50% recombinant and 50% parental.
Also true for triple Xover, quadruple Xover, etc.
4 parental
2 parental
2 non-par.
4 non-par.
6 parental
6 non-par.

how could we get
180 cM?
Now consider independent assortment
…the “ultimate” in non-linkage

Refer to one of Mendel’s F1 x F1 dihybrid cross (round yellow X round
yellow):
What were the parental types for the F1? RY and ry
What were the parental and recombinant gametes made by the F1 plants?
1/4

1/4

RY
ry
Ry
rY
What was the % recombinant gametes? 1/4 + 1/4 = 50%!
So, even for independently assorting genes, the %
recombinant products is only 50%
Conclusion
For widely separated genes
1) An odd number of crossovers gives, on average, an
equal number of parental and recombinant types.
2) An even number of crossovers gives, on average, an
equal number of parental and recombinant types.
3) Alleles on two different chromosomes line up on
the metaphase plate independently, giving on average
equal numbers of parental and recombinant types.
Thus, the maximum recombinant frequency = 50%
Loci can appear to be unlinked because:
• They are on separate chromosomes
• They are so far apart on the same chromosome that
recombination always occurs

QS7 revisited
What were the main points of QS5?
-To give you an opportunity to see actual data from a
meiosis and to draw conclusions from the data based
on your knowledge of this process.
-To show what can be learned from looking at all four
products of a single meiosis.
The diagrams used in quiz section…
etc.
…were designed to help set up specific predictions
Setting up predictions for meiosis outcomes…
But if we can’t see all of
the products from a single
meiosis we expect…
If…
then we expect…
2 genes are linked
a parental ditype (PD)
PD > T >> NPD
they are
independently
assorting but each
close to a
centromere
either PD or nonparental ditype (NPD),
with a 50:50 chance of
each

an equal proportion of
parental and
recombinant types
mostly tetratypes (T),
but also some PD, and
NPD

Practice question
Brown seed pods (B) in a plant species is dominant to green (b), and
elongated pods (E) is dominant over squished (e).
(a) A fully heterozygous plant has the dominant alleles linked in trans
(i.e., dominant alleles not on the same homologue) at a map
distance of 20 cM. What will be the genotypes of gametes produced
by this plant, and in what frequencies (or percentages)?
(b) If this plant is self-pollinated, what progeny phenotypes will you
expect to see, and in what frequencies? Use a Punnett square to
illustrate your answer.

SCO in c-a interval:

middle?
ASK: Which order allows us to
go from the NCO genotype to

The process:
• Try out the parental genotypes in the 3 possible orders
• Do a “virtual double crossover” to see which one would give
the correct DCO genotype.

Interference and coefficient of coincidence (COC)
Interference: Lower-than-expected frequency of DCO products
- Chiasma at one one location blocks other
chiasmata from forming nearby
COC =
observed DCO
expected DCO
Interference = 1 - COC
In our example…
expected DCO = 0.06 x 0.12 x 10000 = 72
Observed DCO = 62
COC = 62/72 = 0.86
Interference = 1 - 0.86 = 0.14

How do we know where to place these genes relative to the
