Linkage & Crossing Over

-
3.8 Linkage and Crossing Over 1. Linkage (Basic Meaning) Linkage means genes staying together during inheritance. Many genes are present on the same chromosome . Since chromosomes carry heredity, these genes tend to pass together from parents to offspring . Such genes are called linked genes . 👉 Definition (simple): Linkage is the tendency of two or more genes on the same chromosome to be inherited together. 2. Discovery of Linkage In plants → discovered by William Bateson and Reginald Punnett In animals → discovered by Thomas Hunt Morgan 3. Types of Linkage I. Complete Linkage (Strong Linkage) Genes are very close to each other on the chromosome. Because they are so close → no crossing over happens (no exchange of genetic material). So, genes do not separate during inheritance. 👉 Result: Offspring show same traits as parents (no new combinations). 👉 Example: Drosophila melanogaster males (X chromosome shows complete linkage) II. Incomplete Linkage (Weak Linkage) Genes are far ...

MHT-CET 2015 Q1. Select a ferromagnetic material from the following. (A) Dioxygen (B) Chromium(IV) oxide (C) Benzene (D) Dihydrogen monoxide Show Solution Correct Answer (B) Chromium(IV) oxide Detailed Explanation: Ferromagnetism: Substances that show permanent magnetism even when the external magnetic field is removed. This occurs due to the spontaneous alignment of magnetic moments (domains) in the same direction. While metals like Iron (Fe), Cobalt (Co), and Nickel (Ni) are classic examples, Chromium(IV) oxide (CrO 2 ) is a unique metallic oxide. Because of its strong ferromagnetic properties, it was historically the standard material used in high-fidelity magnetic recording tapes (cassettes). ...

MHT-CET MCQ Practice Elements of group 16, 17, 18 CET MCQ Chemistry | MHT-CET Previous year questions with detailed solutions MHT-CET 2014 Q1. What is the geometry of a molecule of bromine pentafluoride? (A) Square planar (B) Trigonal bipyramidal (C) Square pyramidal (D) Octahedral Solution: In BrF 5 , the central Bromine atom has 7 valence electrons. It forms 5 sigma bonds with 5 Fluorine atoms. Number of lone pairs = (7 - 5) / 2 = 1 lone pair. Total electron pairs (Steric Number) = 5 (bond pairs) + 1 (lone pair) = 6. The hybridization is sp 3 d 2 . According to VSEPR theory, 6 electron pairs with 1 lone pair results ...
