In subject area: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology Sex-linkage occurs when a trait is controlled by genetic loci on either the X or Y chromosome. From: Encyclopedia of Infant and Early Childhood Development (Second Edition), 2020 ...
The method's power will be highly dependent on polymorphism and linkage disequilibrium in the parental source population as well as the level of differentiation between the X and Y. However, to the extent that other species are similar to this H. arborea population, we suggest that a DXY/π...
Linkage Disequilibrium (LD) is a term coined to describe the non-random association between alleles of genetic loci that lie in proximity to each other. From:Encyclopedia of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology,2019 About this page Set alert ...

Firstly, the process of gamete production introduces a level of variance. Gametes are sex cells, including sperm and eggs, which only have one copy of each chromosome. This means they are haploid cells. Every other cell in the body is diploid, meaning they all have two copies of each ...
Process of Recombination From an evolutionary point of view, the purpose of sex is to re-shuffle the combinations of alleles so the offspring receive a different set of alleles than their parents had. Natural selection then causes offspring with good combinations to survive and reproduce, while of...
Why is a phosphodiester bond important? A phosphodiester bond is vital for the maintenance of the structural stability of nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are in the form of DNA and RNA and are important for cell structure and function. What is a phosphodiester bond in biology? A phosphodiester bon...

Dutcher, in Methods in Cell Biology, 2009 1 Linkage Group Determination To determine linkage between candidate genes and flagellar assembly mutants or between a linkage group and flagellar assembly mutants, PCR-based markers can be used more efficiently than other phenotypic markers (Bowers...
