Give differences : Crossing over and Linkage
Crossing over | Linkage |
$(1)$ It leads to separation of linked genes. | $(1)$ Keeps the genes together. |
$(2)$ It involves exchange of segments between non sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. | $(2)$ It involves individual chromosomes. |
$(3)$ The frequency of crossing over can never exceed $50 \%$. | $(3)$ The number of linkage group can never be more than haploid chromosome number. |
$(4)$ It increases variability by forming new gene combinations. | $(4)$ It reduces variability. |
Discuss in detail the contributions of Morgan and Sturtevant in the area of genetics.
Morgan hybridised yellow-bodied, white-eyed females to brown-bodied, red-eyed males and intercrossed their $F_{1}$ progeny. He observed that
$(a)$ $F_{2}$ ratio was deviated very significantly from the $9 : 3 : 3 : 1$ ratio
$(b)$ Both genes did not segregate independently of each other
$(c)$ Recombinant types are not obtained in $F_{2}$ generation
$(d)$ Both genes segregate independently of each other
