Biol 4003 Ch. 6 Quiz prep with 100%
complete solutions
genetic map - correct answer ✔✔ a diagram that shows the order of genes aling a chromosome
synteny - correct answer ✔✔ situation in which two or more genes are located on the same
chromosome (physically linked together)
genetic linkage - correct answer ✔✔ phenomenon in which genes that are close together on
the same chromosome tend to be transmitted as a unit
(which has an influence on inheritance patterns)
crossing over - correct answer ✔✔ situation in diploid euk. when homologous chromatids can
exchange pieces with one another
bivalent - correct answer ✔✔ structure in which two pairs of homol. sister chromatids have
aligned with one another
recombinant cells - correct answer ✔✔ cells that contain new allelic combination (different
from the o.g. arrangements)
nonrecombinant cells - correct answer ✔✔ cells that contain the same combination of alleles
found in chromosome of their parents
how does genetic recombination occur? - correct answer ✔✔ 1. two or more genes are linked in
the same chromosome (crossing over in meiosis)
