Question
What is gene mapping? Write its uses.
Solution
The diagrammatic representation of the position of genes and related distances between the adjacent genes is called genetic mapping. It is directly proportional to the frequency of recombination between them. It is also called a linkage map.
Uses of genetic mapping:
- It is used to determine gene order, identify the locus of a gene and calculate the distances between genes.
- They are useful in predicting the results of dihybrid and trihybrid crosses.
- It allows the geneticists to understand the overall genetic complexity of the particular organism.
