University of Tennessee BIOL 240 Chapter 4: 1)What is meant by linked genes? What is recombination? What is the relationship between linked genes and recombination? What are syntenic genes? What are recombinant chromosomes? What are parental chromosomes? What are the sites of crossing over? When does this occur? What is the result? What is the difference between complete and incomplete genetic linkage?   How do you calculate recombination frequency? What is recombination frequency? How do you use this for chromosome mapping? What’s the relationship between recombination and map units? What is the upper limit to recombinant gametes? Can factors, other than genetics, influence recombination? If so, what are those factors? What is an allelic phase? What is a haplotype?   Can homologous crossover occur in mitosis?
