Tests for Linkage: Chi Square The chi square test is used to test the goodness of fit of observed data to expectations. This test can be used to test whether two genes are linked. Example. Flies heterozygous for black(b) and vestiial(vg) were testcrossed. Are these two genes linked? progeny phenotypes number grey normal 283 grey vestigial 1294 black normal 1418 black vestigial 241

Chi Square Test • Hypothesis: the genes are not linked. • Prediction: the progeny should be in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. • 2 test: obs exp (obs-exp)2 /exp 283 809 342.0 1294 809 290.8 1418 809 458.4 241 809 398.8 Total 3236 3236 1490.0 • Degrees of freedom = 4 -1 = 3 (one less than the number of progeny classes)
Chi Square Test From the calculated x2 value and the known degrees of freedom, the x2 table reveals a probability value that the deviation from predicted would occur randomly For this example: probability <0.001 This means that the deviation from predicted is expected to occur randomly less than 1 in 1000 times Conclusion? The hypothesis is not correct. The genes do not show independent assortment
Chi Square Test • From the calculated 2 value and the known degrees of freedom, the 2 table reveals a probability value that the deviation from predicted would occur randomly • For this example: probability <0.001 • This means that the deviation from predicted is expected to occur randomly less than 1 in 1000 times • Conclusion? The hypothesis is not correct. The genes do not show independent assortment
A.H. Sturtevant and linkage mapping Sturtevant: strength of linkage is relative to physical distance (1)Recombination is randomly distributed in the chromosome. (2) Each gene has a unique location (locus)on the chromosome (3) The frequency of recombination is proportional to the distance between two loci on the chromosome ie, a-B is smaller than b-c A B
