Genetic linkage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Genetic linkage occurs when particular genetic loci or alleles for genes are inherited jointly. Genetic loci on the same chromosome are physically close to one another and tend to stay together durin...

Legend:; Illustration of crossing-over and recombination during the formation of gametes (germ cells) or meiosis. Crossing-over is part of a complicated process ... In meiosis, the precursor cells of the sperm or ova must multiply and at the same time reduce the number of chromosomes to one full set. ... Graphics Gallery Index...

Since males and females differ in their sex chromosomes, inheritance patterns for X-chromosome linked genes vary between the sexes. Our objective is to understand the principles that govern inheritance of genes on sex chromosomes.

We do not yet know the genes controlling this trait but for the sake of our question, we shall assume it is a sex-linked gene and that it is recessive. Now, suppose that the herd bull (the dominant one which does most of the breeding) who is normal (XN) mates with a cow that is a carrier for rabbit hock. ... Sex-linked genes...
