Calculate the map distance between loci given the phenotypes of offspring or predict phenotypes of offspring given the recombination frequency between loci. Use the distance to construct genetic maps based on data from two-point or three-point testcrosses.

- What is a Map Unit Anyway?
20 Ιουν 2023 · A genetic map shows the map distance, in cM, that separates any two loci, and the position of these loci relative to all other mapped loci. The genetic map distance is roughly proportional to the physical distance, i.e. the amount of DNA between two loci.
31 Μαΐ 2021 · Step 1: Start with the genes that are the farthest apart first: B and C are 45 map units apart and would be placed far apart. Step 2: Solve it like a puzzle, using a pencil to determine the positions of the other genes.
This typically involves calculating the distance between the two genes, which is given in special units called map units (also known as recombination units). Map units can be determine by calculating the percent recombination (recombination frequency) between the two genes on the chromosome.
The units of genetic distance are called map units (mu) or centiMorgans (cM), in honor of Thomas Hunt Morgan by his undergraduate student, Alfred Sturtevant, who developed the concept of genetic maps. Geneticists routinely directly convert the recombination frequencies of two loci into cM.
• Mapping reveals the relative order of genes, not the actual physical distance. • The most accurate maps are made by summing the genetic distances of genes lying close together (small intervals).
Map distance = (1/2 T + 3 NPD) / total tetrads x 100 For our example above, map distance = ([1/2 (70) + 3 (3)] / 200) x 100 = 22 map units This modified equation makes 2 assumptions: (1) there are no more than two crossovers in the
