In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Introduction to Probability 2. Rules of Probability 3. Probability and Human Genetics 4. Binomial Expansions 5. Multinomial Distributions. Introduction to Probability: The numbers of individuals in each ratio result from chance segregation of genes during gamete formation, and their chance combinations to form zygotes. Since these are chance events, accurate predictions about [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Recombination in Neurospora 2. Gene Mapping in Neurospora 3. Genotypic Control. Recombination in Neurospora: The fungus Neurospora crassa has some advantages for study of crossing over. In the vegetative phase of its life cycle, there is growth of filamentous, coenocytic hyphae to form the haploid mycelium. Sexual reproduction is achieved by coming [...]
The below mentioned article article provides notes on mendelian inheritance. In Mendel's dihybrid experiments the F1 double heterozygote always showed independent assortment of the two pairs of genes at the time of gamete formation. In fact the law was justified only because the two genes were not linked to each other. This was true because each gene was located on [...]
