No Linkage of Yellow Body and Sepia Eye Mutations in Drosophila: Yellow Body X-linked and Sepia Eye Autosomal

Written by Brandon Abstract: The theory of independent assortment was first discovered by Gregor Mendel; however when the idea of genetic inheritance was revisited by Thomas Morgan, it was determined that it was not universally true of all alleles and for all organisms. Morgan’s experiments with Drosophila showed a difference in trait inheritance. Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance suggested that multiple genes are inherited in a linked fashion that is predictable and observable. This study focused to determine linkage between the […]
