CH.4 GENETIC MAPPING AND LINKAGE
CONCEPT: OVERVIEW OF MAPPING
● Mapping is used to determine the position of gene loci on a chromosome □ Linked genes are genes that are inherited together
- They exist on the ___________________ chromosome (the chromosome is the unit of inheritance)
- Linked genes do not undergo independent assortment
- Complete linkage describes genes that are always inherited together
- F2 ratio from heterozygous cross is 1:2:1; test cross is 1:1
EXAMPLE: Linkage Group
□ Sometimes alleles on the same chromosomes _________________ inherited together
- Crossing over is a physical breaking and rejoining of homologous chromosomes
- Occurs during meiosis
- Produces genetic recombination which leads to a new combination of alleles
- Crossing over explains how genes on the same chromosome may not be inherited together
EXAMPLE: Example of crossing-over

□ Chromosomal mapping is performed by looking at the _______________________ of recombination
- The closer the genes are to each other, the less likely they are to cross over
- The farther the genes are to each other, the more likely they are to cross over
□ The recombination frequency can be used to determine the location of genes relative to each other

CONCEPT: CROSSING OVER AND RECOMBINANTS
Gamete Genotypes
● Mendel’s law of independent assortment states that the alleles of two genes assort independently EXAMPLE:
□ If the two genes are on the same chromosome, then they are physically linked and sorted into gametes
EXAMPLE:

□ Crossing over is the physical breaking and rejoining of sections of homologous chromosomes
EXAMPLE:
Discovery of Crossing Over ● Many studies have supported the idea of crossing over between homologous chromosomes □ McClintock and Creighton studied two traits of maize (corn)
- Their corn was heterozygous for color (Cc) and starchy (Wx) / waxy (wx)
- Chromosomes were:
□ One of the plants homologous chromosomes had two added markers
□ They mated their chromosome with a colorless, starchy plant

□ The second major study was from Thomas Hunt Morgan and Alfred Sturtevant
- The studies fruit flies with two traits: Eye color, and wing length
- Color is red if p+ or purple if pp
- Wings are long if vg+ but short if vg vg (vestigial)
□ Morgan’s cross went like:
P: p+/p+ vg+/vg+ x p/p vg/vg
Gametes p+ vg+ p vg
F1 p+/p vg+/vg
F1 x tester p+/p vg+/vg x p/p vg/vg
Expected Offspring Ratios:

___________ vestigial _____ red/vestigial
________ p (purple) ___________ long wings _______ purple/long ___________vestigial _______purple/vestigial Observed Offspring Ratios:
- There was 10.7% recombinant ( (151+154)/2839 ) instead of the predicted 50%

□ Alfred Sturtevant figured out why it wasn’t equal
- It was because the two genes were on the same chromosome
- But what is the significance of the 10.7% recombination?
- It is because the area between the two genes is 10.7% of the length of the chromosome
- So we say these two genes are 10.7 map units apart

Crossing Over Terminology
● Crossing over occurs between two ________________________ □ Crossing over occurs between two chromatids
- Sister chromatids are two copies of the same chromosome
- Non-sister chromatids are two copies, one from each homologous pair □ During Meiosis, homologous pairs line up and undergo crossing over
- Tetrads is the term describing the four paired chromatids
- Dyads is a pair of two chromatids
- Bivalent refers to the pair of homologous chromosomes
- Chiasmata is the structure that forms between dyads during crossing over
- Usually between non-sister chromatids, but can also occur between sister

□ Linked genes have certain terminology
- Cis conformations means that dominant alleles of two genes are on the same chromosome
- AB/ab or ++/ab
- Trans conformation means that two different alleles of two genes are on the same chromosome - Ab/aB or +b/+a □ Linked alleles are written differently
- Alleles on the same homolog have no punctuation between them (Ab instead of A/b)
- The “/” separates to homologs, instead of two genes
- If linkage is unknown you write like A/a ⋅ B/b
PRACTICE:
1. Which of the following gametes can be formed from the genotype AaBb if AB and ab are linked? a. AB, ab b. Ab, aB c. Aa, Bb
2. An experiment that was performed found the recombination frequency between two genes was 12.5%. What is the distance (in mapping units) between two genes?
a. 25 b. 6.25 c. 12.5 d. 10

CONCEPT: MAPPING GENES
● Measuring recombination is traditionally the best way to map gene loci on a chromosome
□ Recombination frequencies is the frequency of recombinant offspring produced in a cross
□ Morgan’s cross went like:
P: p+/p+ vg+/vg+ x p/p vg/vg
Gametes p+ vg+ p vg
F1 p+/p vg+/vg
F1 x tester p+/p vg+/vg x p/p vg/vg
Observed Offspring Ratios:
□ What is the significance of the 10.7% recombination?
- The area between the two genes is 10.7% of the length of the chromosome
- So we say these two genes are 10.7 map units (m.u.) apart
- Therefore, physical distance is directly correlated with recombination frequencies
- The closer two genes are, the less likely they are to cross over and recombine

□ Recombination frequencies can also determine __________________ a gene is linked
- Linkage is likely occurring if the recombination frequencies are less than 50%
- Linkage is likely not occurring if the recombination frequencies are close or equal to 50%
□ Recombination frequencies are never greater than 50% because:
- Independent assortment equally assorts alleles, but cannot cause more than 50% recombination
EXAMPLE:
Modern Mapping
● There are ____________________ types of gene loci maps
□ Recombination maps use recombination frequencies to determine gene loci
- Can be used to map 2+ gene loci
□ Physical maps use the action genomic sequence to determine gene loci
- Involves sequencing the entire chromosome, or genome of an organism
□ Mapping via certain genomic markers can also be used
- Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms are single nucleotide changes that can be markers
- Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) are sequences that restriction enzymes cut
- Restriction enzymes are proteins that cut DNA at one specific sequence
- Microsatellites are short repetitive sequences found throughout the genome

CONCEPT: TRI-HYBRID CROSS FOR MAPPING
● A tri-hybrid cross, is a mating to look at the inheritance of _________ traits in the offspring
□ For unlinked genes, this should follow normal Mendelian inheritance
□ For linked genes, recombination frequencies in the offspring can be used to map all three gene loci
EXAMPLE:
In a cross of fruit flies, there are three traits of interest.
1. Eye color: v+ = red, v = vermillion (like orange/purpleish),
2. Wing veins: cv+= presence of wing crossvein, cv = absence of crossvein
3. Wing shape: ct+ = normal wing, ct = cut wing edges
P: v+/v+ cv/cv ct/ct x v/v cv+/cv+ ct+/ct+
Parental phenotypes: Red, crovsveinless,cut wings x vermillion, crossvein, normal wing
Gametes: v+ cv ct v cv+ ct+
F1 trihybrid v+/v cv/cv+ ct/ct+
F1 test cross v+/v cv/cv+ ct/ct+ x v/v cv/cv ct/ct
F1 phenotypes: Red, crossvein, normal wing vermillion, crossvienless, cut wings
Parental gametes:

Page 16
Now, you determine the recombination frequencies:
1. For v and cv: RF = 268/1448 = 18.5
2. For v and ct: RF = 191/1448 = 13.2
3. For cv and ct: RF = 93/1448 = 6.4
What can we determine from these ________________________ frequencies?
1. All three genes are linked, because their RFs are less than 50%
2. The orientation and distances of the gene loci
□ Why does 13.2 + 6.4 = 19.6 and not the 18.5 (RF for v and cv)?
- We should have counted the double cross overs twice, instead of once!

CONCEPT: MULTIPLE CROSS OVERS AND INTERFERENCE
● Mapping the loci of 3+ genes can be more difficult, because of multiple cross overs
□ Multiple crossovers occur when more than one crossover causes 2+ changes in the gamete genotype
EXAMPLE:
□ Calculate information on double cross overs by:
1. Double counting the double crossovers when calculating the RF for the genes of farthest distance
- This will help you accurately map the genes (Trihybrid cross)
● Interference is when crossovers in one region of the chromosome affects the chance of crossover in an adjacent region
□ Independent crossovers (meaning, no interference) can be calculated using the double recombination frequency
EXAMPLE: Double cross over calculation with no interference
1. If the frequency of crossing over is 20% for genes A and B, and 30% for genes B and C, what is the frequency
of a double crossover between A and C?
- (0.2 x 0.3) x 100 = 6%

□ If the calculated value does not equal the observed results, then that means interference is impacting the data
- Uses the coefficient of coincidence
EXAMPLE: Calculating the interference
Observed frequency: 4
Expected frequency: 6
1-(4/6) = 0.33 x 100 = 33%
□ Therefore, there were 33% fewer double crossovers occurred than expected
- Crossing over at one location, partially decreased the chance of crossover at an adjacent location

CONCEPT: CHI-SQUARE TEST FOR LINKAGE
● A chi-square test can be used to identify the likelihood of gene linkage
□ Chi-square test is used to evaluate if your experimental values are different from the predicted values
EXAMPLE:
I want to know if genes A and B are linked, so I do an experiment where I cross two heterozygous organisms. I get 50
offspring, 31 parental types, and 19 recombinant types. Is it likely that A and B are linked?
1. What are the expected numbers?
- If two genes are not linked then the recombination frequency is 50%. Therefore, there would be 50% parental
types and 50% recombinant types. So out of 50 offspring, 50/2 = 25. There would be 25 parental and 25
recombinants.
2. Calculate the chi-square value
3. Determine the P value.
a. Calculate degrees of freedom. DF=1
b. Find chi-square value on row 1. It is between 2.71 and 3.84
c. The appropriate p value is between 0.10 and 0.05 (10% to 5%)

Recombinant 19 25 1.44

4. Do we accept or reject the null hypothesis?
a. The null hypothesis states that the expected and observed values are not different. (This would mean that
the genes would NOT be linked)
b. Because the p values are greater than 0.05 (5%), so we accept the null hypothesis.
5. Therefore, we can say with 95% confidence the genes are NOT linked.
a. Remember: This does not confirm linkage, it just states the likelihood

CONCEPT: MAPPING WITH MARKERS
● Mapping with ____________________ attempts to link chromosomal regions without the need to link alleles □ A molecular marker is a small DNA segment that has unique identifiable properties
- Can be polymorphic, meaning that they can differ between individuals in a population
- Very useful in identifying location of unknown genes, with unknown alleles
□ Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) occurs when DNA from individuals are cut differently
- Different lengths are due to slight differences in the DNA that are recognized by restriction enzymes
- Due to: mutations, deletions, duplications, etc…
- RFLPs are obtains by taking an individuals DNA, cutting it, and then comparing lengths on a gel or blot
□ RFLPs can be mapped through crosses and analysis of ___________________________ phenotypes
- Exactly the same as linkage mapping, but instead of looking at phenotypes, scientists look at DNA
- Generates an RFLP map, which is a linkage map of RFLP markers in the genome of an organism
EXAMPLE:

Page 27
□ Microsatellites are short tandem repetitive sequences that can also be used as markers to _______ the genome
- A CA repeat of 5-50 is found repeated about every 10,000 bases
- PCR is used to identify the length and position of the microsatellites in the organisms or genomic region
- Like RFLPs, microsatellites can be followed through crosses and offspring production to map
PRACTICE:
1. What is a molecular marker? a. A fluorescent probe attached to regions of a chromosome b. A gene of interest c. A small DNA segment with unique properties d. A fluorescent protein that marks regions of the cell

CONCEPT: POSITIONAL CLONING
● Positional cloning is an approach that identifies which candidate genes may be the one that causes the ____________ 1. Scientists use mapping techniques to identify a specific chromosomal region associated with a disease
- This technique establishes linkage between DNA markers and disease phenotype
2. Additional markers are used within this locus to more precisely locate the gene of interest
3. Chromosomal walking uses overlapping DNA fragments to identify the gene of interest
- Begin with clone A, which is closest to the marker
- Identify an overlapping clone (called clone B) that walks closer to the gene
- Repeat with as many overlapping clones as you need to walk to the gene, one clone at a time
4. Identify a small number of candidate genes within this region that could cause the disease phenotype
5. Examine each gene individually to determine which one actually causes the phenotype
