Linked Genes

The video tutorial explains the concept of linked genes, primarily through the work of Thomas Hunt Morgan and his experiments with fruit flies. It covers the setup of genetic experiments, the process of crossbreeding, and the analysis of results that led to the discovery of linked genes. The tutorial also discusses chromosomal genetics and the creation of gene maps, highlighting the contributions of Morgan and his student Sturtevant.
