An explanation of genetic linkage using fruit fly traits as examples. Genetic linkage is the tendency of dna sequences that are close together on a chromosome to be inherited together during the meiosis phase of sexual reproduction. Genetic mapping, or linkage mapping, uses the concept of recombination frequencies to identify how closely 2 genes or dna segments are linked, but does so for many genes or dna segments using markers at a time, by performing many pairwise linkage tests and compiling the results into linkage groups chromosomes, optimally. Although various forms of linkage map construction software are widely. Determination of how close two genes on the same chromosome are to each other.
