What is meant by incomplete linkage? What is its significance in heredity?
Answers
Incomplete linkage produces new combinations of the genes in the progeny due to the formation of chiasma or crossing over in between the linked genes present on homologous chromosomes.
Answer:
Incomplete linkage produces new combinations of the genes in the progeny due to the formation of chiasma or crossing over in between the linked genes present on homologous chromosomes.
Linkage between genes that exhibit some crossing over; intermediate in its effects between independent assortment and complete linkage.
During gametogenesis these linked genes tend to remain together but because they are far away they are separated due to crossing over. Incomplete linkage has been studied in female Drosophila, maize, tomato and many other organisms.
