LEARNING OBJECTIVES FOR GENETICS
Exam II
Chapter 7: Linkage and Chromosome Mapping in Eukaryotes
- Distinguish linked and unlinked genes by examining the results of genetic crosses.
- Recognize crossing over as the physical exchange between homologues during meiosis.
- Learn about the analytical techniques used to determine the relative locations of genes on the
chromosome.
- Correctly interpret the results of three-point mapping experiments, including interference.
- Learn how genes are mapped in humans.
Chapter 5: Chromosomal Basis of Heredity
- Appreciate the experiments that led to the chromosomal theory of heredity.
- Understand sex determination in various organisms.
- Review dosage compensation, its mechanism and its significance.
- Use pedigrees to follow the inheritance of sex-linked traits.
Chapter 6: Chromosome Mutations
- Learn the terminology used to describe chromosome mutations.
- Understand the origin and consequences of variation in chromosome number.
- Understand the origin and consequences of variation in chromosome structure.
