  2. Three-point cross - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_cross

    In genetics, a three-point cross is used to determine the loci of three genes in an organism's genome.. An individual heterozygous for three mutations is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual, and the phenotypes of the progeny are scored.

  3. Gene orders - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_orders

    Gene order is the permutation of genome arrangement. A fair amount of research has been done trying to determine whether gene orders evolve according to a molecular clock (molecular clock hypothesis) or in jumps (punctuated equilibrium). By comparing gene orders in dissimilar organisms, scientists are able to develop a molecular phylogeny tree. [1]

  4. Coefficient of coincidence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_coincidence

    In genetics, the coefficient of coincidence (c.o.c.) is a measure of interference in the formation of chromosomal crossovers during meiosis. It is generally the case that, if there is a crossover at one spot on a chromosome, this decreases the likelihood of a crossover in a nearby spot. [1] This is called interference.

  5. Gene mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_mapping

    There are two distinctive mapping approaches used in the field of genome mapping: genetic maps (also known as linkage maps) [7] and physical maps. [3] While both maps are a collection of genetic markers and gene loci, [8] genetic maps' distances are based on the genetic linkage information, while physical maps use actual physical distances usually measured in number of base pairs.

  6. Crossover (evolutionary algorithm) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_(evolutionary...

    A point on both parents' chromosomes is picked randomly, and designated a 'crossover point'. Bits to the right of that point are swapped between the two parent chromosomes. This results in two offspring, each carrying some genetic information from both parents.

  7. Punnett square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punnett_square

    However, a tree produces the same result as a Punnett square in less time and with more clarity. The example below assesses another double-heterozygote cross using RrYy x RrYy. As stated above, the phenotypic ratio is expected to be 9:3:3:1 if crossing unlinked genes from two double-heterozygotes.

  8. Crossover value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_value

    In genetics, the crossover value is the linked frequency of chromosomal crossover between two gene loci ().For a fixed set of genetic and environmental conditions, recombination in a particular region of a linkage structure tends to be constant and the same is then true for the crossover value which is used in the production of genetic maps.

  9. Chromosomal crossover - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosomal_crossover

    The linked frequency of crossing over between two gene loci is the crossing-over value. For fixed set of genetic and environmental conditions, recombination in a particular region of a linkage structure tends to be constant and the same is then true for the crossing-over value which is used in the production of genetic maps.
