It highlights the significance of monohybrid crosses and includes advancements made by Harriet Creighton and Barbara McClintock in 1932 regarding chromosome recombination.

It highlights Nilsson-Ehle's 1908 research on polygenic inheritance in wheat, illustrating that traits like kernel color involve multiple gene pairs, leading to variations. This concept aids in understanding human diseases, as multiple genes can interact to influence conditions such as cancer.

It acknowledges the presence of syntenic traits that still assort independently and highlights the complexities of linkage analysis in corn, where varying recombination frequencies can impact the accuracy of genetic mapping.

In fact, we now know that alleles of loci that are located close together on the same chromosome tend to be inherited together. This phenomenon is called linkage, and is a major exception to Mendel’s Second Law of Independent Assortment. Researchers use linkage to determine the location of genes along chromosomes in a process called genetic mapping and is important to natural processes of heredity and evolution.

It explains that recombination through crossovers contributes to genetic diversity in meiosis, highlighting the importance of understanding linkage and recombination in heredity and evolution.

Analysis of two loci in parallel is required for genetic mapping and can also reveal gene interactions. These techniques are very useful for both basic and applied research. Before discussing these techniques, we will first revisit Mendel’s classical experiments.

Mendel’s experiments extended beyond the F2 generation to the F3 generation, F4 generation, and so on, but it was the ratio of characteristics in the P, F1, and F2 generations that were the most intriguing and became the basis of Mendel’s postulates.
