  2. Linkage and recombination are phenomena that describe the inheritance of genes. A linkage is a phenomenon where two or more linked genes are always inherited together in the same combination for more than two generations. The recombination frequency of the test cross progeny is always lower than 50%. Therefore, if any two genes are completely ...

  3. Explain the following with an example:Linkage isomerism. Explain the following with an example: Linkage isomerism. Solution. Verified by Toppr. Linkage isomerism: The isomers which have same molecular formula but differ in the linkage of ligand atom to the central metal atom are called linkage isomers.

  4. Explain with example. Solution. Verified by Toppr. The molecules having peptide linkage are known as peptides. Peptide linkage is also known as peptide bond. it is an amide formed between −COOH and −N H 2 group by elimination of a water molecule. It is represented as. − C || O −N H −. For example, following represents a dipeptide ...

  5. Peptide linkage is a peptide bond which is formed between two amino acid [- CO- NH-]H 2N −CH −CO−N H − −CH 3. Peptide linkage is a peptide bond which is formed between two amino acid [- CO- NH-] H. 2. N.

  6. Genetic linkage is the tendency of DNA sequences that are close together on a chromosome to be inherited together during the meiosis phase of sexual reproduction. Two genetic markers that are physically near to each other are unlikely to be separated into different chromatids during the chromosomal crossover and are therefore said to be more linked than markers that are far apart.

  7. Following are the factors affecting linkage: Distance between the genes: As the distance between genes increases, chance of linkage decreases. Age: With increase in age, chances of crossing over decreases which results in the increase of linkage. Temperature: Rise in temperature causes the chances of chiasmata formation.

  8. Define the following terms :(i) Glycosidic linkage(ii) Invert sugar(iii) Oligosaccharides. List-I contains saccharides and List-II contains the monosaccharide units as well as glycosidic bonds. Choose the correct option considering List-I and List-II.

  9. The molecular formula of linkage isomers is same but they differ in linkage of the ligand to central metal atom. Yellow coloured [Co(N H 3)5N O2]Cl2 and red coloured [Co(N H 3)5ON O]Cl2 are linkage isomers. Ionisation isomerism (ion-ion exchange isomerism). There is exchange of ions inside and outside the coordination sphere.

  10. QUESTION 14.12(i) Define the following as related to proteins. Peptide linkage. Define the following as related to proteins.

  11. T.H. Morgan discovered that all the genes in Drosophila are linked to four pairs of linkage groups which correspond to 4 pairs of chromosomes. Sometimes, the linkage of some genes, present at some specific distance, is broken and they show independent assortment. The most plausible reason for break in the concept of linkage would be
