An overview of recombination in genetics, focusing on the process of crossing over during meiosis. It explains how alleles are shuffled, resulting in recombinant and nonrecombinant gametes. The text also covers independent assortment and the importance of genetic markers in determining the recombinant or nonrecombinant status of gametes.

Shuffling of alleles
Warning: Wikipedia definition is not precise - Fundamental to genetics and evolution -
gamete with a combination of alleles that did not come from the parents is a
recombinant
gamete
Examine by contrasting combinations of alleles at two stages: - Gametes that made person (from parents) - Gametes from person

Process with different chromosomes
Sometimes the word
recombination
is used specifically referring to crossing over
Wikipedia focuses just on this
Happens when doubled
Called
crossing over
Can form mixed (

We use look at alleles at genetic markers (discussed soon) along the chromosome!
Start with heterozygote
Produces gametes, with crossover(s) occurring along the length - How often are A and B “ linked ” (ie, same color)? - How often are A and C “ linked ” ? - What does this mean?
If we assume total linkage
Imagine dad is
A B A B
Imagine mom is AaBb:
If we assume no linkage
Imagine dad is
A B A B
Imagine mom is AaBb:
…
Recombinant gametes
AaBb Ab aB - AaBb
ab Red chromosome came from this individual ’ s dad Blue chromosome came from this individual ’ s mom Punchline: Knowing an individual is “ AaBb ” is not enough to understand which gametes are recombinant vs. parental
