Morgan's Laws

T. H. Morgan summarized the basic knowledge about custody into three laws: These laws form the so-called chromosome theory of heredity.
 * 1) Genes are always stored on chromosome linearly.
 * 2) The genes of one chromosome form a linkage group. The number of binding groups of an organism is the same as the number of pairs of homologous chromosomes of the respective organism.
 * 3) Gene exchange can take place between the genes of a homologous pair of chromosomes through crossing-over. The frequency of crossing-over is proportional to the distance of the genes.
