What is this?
What is genetic recombination? What does is do for a species and is it good or bad?

Genomes Can Be Mapped By Linkage, Restriction Cleavage, Or Dna Sequence
Defining the contents of a genome essentially means making a map. We can think about mapping genes and genomes at several levels of resolution:A genetic (or linkage) map identifies the distance between mutations in terms of recombination frequencies....

Prokaryotic Genes Are Colinear With Their Proteins
KEY TERMS:A colinear relationship describes the 1:1 representation of a sequence of triplet nucleotides in a sequence of amino acids. KEY CONCEPTS: A prokaryotic gene consists of a continuous length of 3N nucleotides that codes for N amino acids. The...

Recombination Occurs By Physical Exchange Of Dna
KEY TERMS:Crossing-over describes the reciprocal exchange of material between chromosomes that occurs during prophase I of meiosis and is responsible for genetic recombination. A bivalent is the structure containing all four chromatids (two representing...

Week Two: Evo Devo Thoughts
I was genuinely surprised to learn about the role of master control genes in the evolutionary process. I always thought (as many people do, I think) that the development of a new trait required a mutation in a gene. And, honestly, I could never figure...

Comparison Between Self Pollination And Cross Pollination
Self pollination and Cross pollination: Major differences Self pollination Cross pollination 1. Pollen grains are transferred to stigma of same or genetically similar flower. Pollen grains are...
