Recombination in Genetics: Understanding the Shuffling of Alleles through Crossing Over, Notas de aula de Genética

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.

Recombination!

Shuffling of alleles

Warning: Wikipedia definition is not precise - Fundamental to genetics and evolution -

A

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

Crossing

over

Sometimes the word

recombination

is used specifically referring to crossing over

Wikipedia focuses just on this

Meiosis

but

it

isn

t

so

simple…

Often,

homologous

chromosomes

trade

pieces

with

each

other

during

meiosis

Happens when doubled

Called

crossing over

Can form mixed (

recombinant

chromosomes in gametes

we

tell?

We use look at alleles at genetic markers (discussed soon) along the chromosome!

Nonrecombinant

Recombinant

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

AABB

A B A B

Imagine mom is AaBb:

How

to

follow:

Ab^ aB

AB

AB

AABb^ AaBB

AABb^ AaBB

How

to

follow:

If we assume no linkage

Imagine dad is

AABB

A B A B

Imagine mom is AaBb:

Ab^ aB

AB

AB

AB^ ab

Phase

matters…

Recombinant gametes

AaBb Ab aB - AaBb

AB

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
