 Until now our analysis of genes has focused on defining genes based on phenotypic differences brought about by different alleles or by a direct test of function – the complementation test. In Chapters 4 and 5, our analysis will be concerned with tests of gene position.  Until now our analysis of genes has focused on defining genes based on phenotypic differences brought about by different alleles or by a direct test of function – the complementation test.

-Morgan explained these unusual results by hypothesizing that the eye color gene white ($w$) is physically located on the sex chromosome $X$. Males only have one copy of the $X$ chromosome and females always get one copy of $X$ from their mother and one copy from their father. We can use modified symbols to show the genotypes that are directly associated, or linked, with the $X$ chromosome, and re-write Figure {{ref>Fig4}} as follows:+Morgan explained these unusual results by hypothesizing that the eye color gene $white($w$) is physically located on the sex chromosome $X$.
