Recombination and Linkage
A Three point test cross in Drosophila
Linkage
Relationship between two or more genes near each other on the same chromosome is known as Linkage
Law of independent assortment applies to genes on different chromosomes(non linked genes)
Linkage
In a three point cross if there is no linkage what would be the expected ratio for all classes ?
1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1
Aim for three point linkage experiment
Locate the respective position of the three linked gene loci on the same chromosome
Measure distances between genes
Construct the genetic map which estimate the physical distances between gene loci

F1 trihybrid test cross:
ycvf / Y x +++ / ycvf
4 Males 6 Females
During meiosis of spermatogenesis male Drosophila flies do not exhibit crossing over between homologous pair - no recombinant product.
X chromosome and Y chromosome do have regions of pairing, and do form tetrads, but don’t recombine.
Male show complete linkage, advantageous for our experiment.
Tri-hybrid females had crossing over .

Coefficient of coincidence(c.o.c.) =
Expected DCO = (RF I)(RF II)(Total #)
Interference(I) = 1 – c.o.c
Exp DCO = (0.18)(0.28)(200) = 10.08
c.o.c. = = 0.595
I = 1 – 0.595 = 0.405
~ 40% interference
Negative value means scoring is wrong
C.O.C-measure the amount the interference of one CO to reduce
the formation of another CO

Possible Sources of Error
Over-estimation of RF
Inadequate sample size
Misscoring of flies
Missing double crossovers
Under-estimation of RF
Some crossover flies are less viable and selected against
Ex. Triple mutants less viable than double/single mutants
Failure to detect multiple crossovers in a given region
**Do not want to hear the typical “standard experimental error”
Ways to Improve
Score phenotypes more carefully.
It is better to use more markers so RF is not being measured for
13. distant genes that would have lots of crossovers, such as cv-f
region, unlike the y-cv region, which is smaller, so less DCO
occur.
Increase sample size
In summary
1. Determine the order of the three genes on the chromosome
and find the middle gene
2. Calculate the recombination percentages for the two
intervening regions
3. Construct the genetic map
4. Calculate the COC and Interference
