The disease gene is D (normal allele d) and the marker gene alleles are represented by T and t. If the disease gene and the marker gene are physically very close together, they will be transmitted together, so that the gametes formed are either DT or dt as shown in Fig. 2. This departure from independent segregation is termed "linkage", with D and T being very tightly linked in the example shown. If D and T are slightly further apart on the chromosome, the two genes may well be transmitted together, but because they can segregate by crossing over and recombination at meiosis, a few gametes with genotypes Dt or dTwill appear, as illustrated in Fig.
