AP Biology The Chromosomal Basis of Inheritance “Linked Genes”
AP Biology Thomas Morgan Why me? Because I have White eyes I am Drosophila melangaster
AP Biology Linked Genes Morgan thought that 2 traits would be inherited together the closer they are
AP Biology P Generation (homozygous) Wild type (gray body, normal wings ) Double mutant (black body, vestigial wings) b b vg vg b + b + vg + vg +

AP Biology Morgan discovered a way to map genes “Genetic Linkage Map”
AP Biology Any Questions?
