What term is applied when two genes fail to assort independently, that is, they tend to segregate together during gamete formation?.

Hi there!

Linkage is the term applied when two genes fail to assort independently.

☆ The result is that the parental traits will be maintained.

☆ Also, the linked genes sit close together on a chromosome, making them likely to be inherited together (left).

When the chromosomal location for a disease phenotype has been established, then the genetic linkage scrutiny helps determine whether the disease phenotype is only caused by mutation in a single gene or mutations in other genes, giving rise to an identical or similar phenotype.

Hope that helps!

surface mining destroys mountain tops, landscapes, forests and wildlife habitats. on top of that, it leads to soil erosion and destruction of agricultural land. the landscape changes can also disrupt river channels and streams, which leads to flooding. which, can destroy plant life and other animals as well.
