2 or more genes are on the same autosomal chromosome
Autosome=
a chromosome that isn't a sex chromosome
Autosomalgenes
= the genes located on the autosomes
Genes on the same autosome are said to be ...
Linked
Because they are on the same autosome they will stay together during independent segregation of chromosomes in MEIOSIS I, and their alleles will be passed on to the offspring together
HOWEVER THIS WONT HAPPEN IF- crossing over splits them u first (only reason)
Closer together two genes are on the autosome=
the more closely they are said to be linked
because crossing over less likely to split them up
If two genes are autosomally linked what will you NOT get
the phenotypic ratio you expect in the offspring of a cross
