A Correlation Between Cytogenetic and Genetic Crossing-Over


The hybridization of two individuals of the genotypes and karyotypes depicted in row P results in the F1 types below after crossing-over. The blue dot represents a cytologically visible knob. The experiment shows that a crossing-over between the gene loci C and wx causes a new combination of both geno- and karyotypes. (H. B. CRAITON and B. McCLINTOCK, 1931)
