What is Detection of Linkage and Recombination about?

Linkage is detected when genes do not assort independently and are inherited together, as established by Thomas Hunt Morgan through experiments with Drosophila melanogaster. Methods to detect linkage include dihybrid crosses, test crosses, and back crosses, with deviations from expected Mendelian ratios indicating linkage. Recombination frequency is used to measure linkage strength, where less than 50% RF confirms linkage, and the presence of recombinant phenotypes indicates recombination.
