• The location of a particular gene can be seen by tagging isolated chromosomes with a fluorescent dye that highlights the gene
Mendelian inheritance has its physical Mendelian inheritance has its physical basis in the behavior of chromosomesbasis in the behavior of chromosomes
The The chromosome theory of inheritance chromosome theory of inheritance states:states: Mendelian genes have specific loci (positions) on Mendelian genes have specific loci (positions) on
chromosomeschromosomes
Chromosomes undergo segregation and independent Chromosomes undergo segregation and independent assortmentassortment

LAW OF SEGREGATIONThe two alleles for each gene separate during gamete formation.
LAW OF INDEPENDENTASSORTMENT Alleles of genes on nonhomologous chromosomes assort independently during gamete formation.

Inheritance of Sex-Linked GenesInheritance of Sex-Linked Genes
The sex chromosomes have genes for The sex chromosomes have genes for many characters unrelated to sexmany characters unrelated to sex
A gene located on either sex A gene located on either sex chromosome is called a chromosome is called a sex-linked genesex-linked gene
In humans, sex-linked usually refers to a In humans, sex-linked usually refers to a gene on the larger X chromosomegene on the larger X chromosome

Genes located on the same chromosome Genes located on the same chromosome that tend to be inherited together are that tend to be inherited together are called called linked geneslinked genes
Linked genes tend to be inherited together Linked genes tend to be inherited together because they are located near each other because they are located near each other

Breakage of a chromosome can lead to Breakage of a chromosome can lead to four types of changes in chromosome four types of changes in chromosome structure:structure: Deletion Deletion removes a chromosomal segmentremoves a chromosomal segment Duplication Duplication repeats a segmentrepeats a segment Inversion Inversion reverses a segment within a reverses a segment within a
