Question

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, (10[1])is known as this phenomenon’s namesake disequilibrium. (10[1])This phenomenon (10[1])is the primary (10[1])exception to Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment. For 10 points, (10[1])name this phenomenon in which genes that are close together on the same chromosome are more likely (10[1])to be inherited together. ■END■
