A Genetic Map of Non-Mendelian Genes in Chlamydomonas*

Abstract

A group of eight non-Mendelian genes have been shown by recombination analysis to be linked into a linear structure or chromosome. Similar genetic maps of gene order and relative distances between genes have been constructed by two methods, one based on additivity of recombination frequencies, the other on frequency of reciprocal recombination with a postulated attachment point. The data indicate that the progeny are diploid for this linkage group, and that the strands are distributed in a precisely oriented manner at mitosis. Evidence is discussed in support of the view that this linkage group is located in chloroplast DNA.
