LINKAGE MAPS

Crossing over is important in locating the genes on chromosome. The genes are arranged linearly on the chromosome. This sequence and relative distance between various genes is graphically represented in terms of recombination frequencies or cross over values(COV). This is known as linkage map of chromosome.

Distance or cross over units are called centimorgan (cM) or map unit. Term centimorgan is used in eukaryotic genetics and map unit in prokaryotic genetics.
