Genetic linkage is a term that indicates the tendency of inheritance of two nearest gene sequence in a chromosome during meiosis cell division.
Gene linkage is the most important expectation in The law of independent assortment by Gregor Johannes Mandel.
Two genetic marker in a chromosome
inheritance probability depends on distance between themselves. this distance is count by centi Morgan.
The nearest gene sequence have highest chance of inheritance and less chance of
Genetic recombination .
During
Genetic crossover two physically nearest gene in chromosome is unlikely to seperates into different chromatid during meiosis
Cell division .
When any
Cell divides there have a chance of separate the chromosome into different chromatid.
In different
types of plant examples of genetic linkage may be found. We may find that rates of seed dormancy even germination somehow linked with genetics and genetic linkage.
