-Besides providing experimental evidence for chromosome theory as discussed in [[chapter_03|Chapter 03]], Morgan's research group also demonstrated that genes (usually) have fixed positions on chromosomes. When we think about gene position, the term locus (plural: loci, pronounced "LOW-sigh") is sometimes used as a term to describe a gene in the context of its position rather than its function.+<typo fs:x-large>Chapter 05.

-\The first genetic map, created by Alfred Sturtevant in Thomas Morgan's research lab. The gene symbols in the figure are non-standard; they represent genes that we know today as: B, $yellow$; C, $white$; O, an allele of $white$; P, $vermillion$; R, $mini$; M, $rudimentary$. The numbers represent map positions, and map distances between genes can be obtained by subtracting the numbers. Source: Sturtevant, A.H. (1913). J. Exp. Zool., 14:43-59.
