We consider two traits to test their inheritanceIndividually inheritance of each trait follows 3:1 ratio in F2
Therefore considering both the traits simultaneously should follow 9:3:3:1 ratio
In F2
four classes are formed as formed in case of simple dihybird but
the data did not follow 9:3:3:1 ratioit means
it is not the case of gene interaction(Generally In gene interaction four classes are not formed)
To follow 9:3:3:1 ratio both the genes under study should be located on two different chromosomes
7 3
Location of first gene on chromosome seventh
Second gene on chromosome third
When genes are located on two different chromosomes they follow
law of segregation and
Independent assortmentAs dihybrid case
i.e., study of both the genes simultaneously

Genes are located on the same chromosome Considering individual gene separately
F2 for second gene
It shows that when genes are located on different chromosomes or in the same chromosome they follow
Law of Segregation &
Independent assortmentWhen considered individually

Allele of individual gene segregates but
when we observed both the genes simultaneously then they do not segregate from each other
because both are located on the same chromosome
Consider both the genes present on the same chromosome simultaneously

Gamete formation
It shows that A will always go with B and a with b
A

Following combination will not be formed
A a
b B
This type of situation when two alleles of different genes inherited
with each other due to their location on the same
chromosome is known as LINKAGE
It means it will follow law of segregation
but not law of independent assortment
thereforenew combinations in next generation will not formed
A
B
a
b
In this case allele A of first gene and allele B of second gene are considered
linkedSimilarly
allele a of first gene and allele b of second gene are considered
linked
A
B
a
b
Linkage checks the Independent assortment therefore
A is not able to combine with b and
a not with B
Hence in dihybrid study it will not provide 9:3:3:1 ratio
Sometimes even in the presence of linkage four classes are formed
that do not follow simple 9:3:3:1 ratio Why
The new combination i.e., not possible because of linkage appear in F2
Again we consider the same case
These two are the homologous chromosomes that pair at stage of prophase during meiosis division

New combination is due to crossing over it is not due to law of independent assortment
The exchange of genetic martial between sister chromatids of homologues chromosomes is known as
CROSSING OVER
It is of two types
Two pint test cross Three point test cross

Gene Order
The gene are positioned in a linear order on a chromosomeSequential order of genes under study on the chromosome is
known as gene order
It is determined by making double cross over in DCOthe produce should be same as parent
& the distance between the genes under consideration
In a three point test cross gene order may be
a b c
a c b
b a c
b c a
c a b
c b a
n(n-1)3 (2)=6
It is the determination of relative distance between genes
The unit of map distance is cetimorgan = one unit of map distanceIt is equivalent to 1% crossing over
Map distance is used in predicting the probability of crossing over between genes
Map distance
Coefficient of coincidence
An experimental value equal to the observed number of double cross over divided by the expected double cross over
Coefficient of coincidence =
% expected double cross over
CoincidenceChances of happening both the events at a time In this case it means single cross over between both the combination at a time i.e., double cross over
% observed double cross over
Interference
Crossing over at one place in a chromosome may change the actual probability of another crossing
over at the adjacent region This change is known as interference
It is of two types
Positive interference The interaction between cross over is such that the occurrence of one cross over reduces the chance of cross over of another.In this case coefficient of coincidence is less than 1
Negative interference The interaction between cross over is such that the occurrence of one cross over enhances the chance of cross over of another.In this case coefficient of coincidence is greater than 1
Coincidence is the complement of interference
Coincidence + interference = 1
When interference is complete (1.0), no double cross over will be observed and coincidence becomes zero
When all the expected cross over occur actually than interference becomes zero
Problems on Linkage
