If two genes are linked on the same chromosome, we call this combination the parental combination. These genes will be transmitted as a unit and will not sort independently. However, during meiosis, crossing over occurs between homologous chromosomes, and the linked genes can become "unlinked." In general, the farther two genes are from each other along the chromosome, the more often they will come "unlinked." Genetic recombination is the process during which linked genes become unlinked. What do geneticists call the offspring that show these new combinations?
