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. In most mammals, heterochiasmy causes this phenomenon to be much stronger in males than in females. The presence of this phenomenon is indicated by a value greater than 3.0, and excluded by a value less than -2.0, for the logarithm of odds, or LOD, score. Instances of 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 this phenomenon’s namesake disequilibrium. This (10[1])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 (10[1])on the same chromosome (-5[2])are more likely to be inherited together. ■END■ (0[2])
