“Genetic maps”
A genetic map is a type of chromosome map that shows the relative
locations of genes and other important features. The map is based on the
idea of linkage, which means that the closer two genes are to each other
on the chromosome, the greater the probability that they will be inherited
together. By following inheritance patterns, the relative locations of genes
along the chromosome are established.
★ Genetic map is a map that shows the relative location of two genetic
traits. And the way to do this is to use the offspring of an organism
and track how many times two given genetic traits are inherited
together; for instance, hair color and eye color. The higher the
percentage of descendants that have both traits together, the closer
on the chromosome the genes responsible for the traits will be.
