As a result of this phenomenon, all dark green/blue budgerigars can be classified as Type I or Type II depending on the colors of their parents. Sexual dimorphism in the strength of this phenomenon, and the frequency of the process counteracting it, is called heterochiasmy; for most mammals, this phenomenon is thus much stronger in males than in females. This phenomenon can be divided into (*) repulsion and coupling forms. The population-wide form of this phenomenon, in which p-sub-AB is not equal to p-sub-A times p-sub-B, is known as this phenomenon’s namesake disequilibrium. This phenomenon is the primary exception to Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment. For 10 points, name this phenomenon in which genes that are close together on the same chromosome are more likely to be inherited together. ■END■
