<u>Linkage</u> is the term applied when two genes fail to assort independently.
<h3><u>RESULT</u>?</h3>
☆The result is that <em>the parental traits will be maintained</em>.
☆ Also, the linked genes sit close together on a chromosome, making them likely to be inherited together (left).
<h3><u>IMPORTANCE</u></h3>
When the chromosomal location for a disease phenotype has been established, then the genetic <em>linkage </em><em>s</em><em>c</em><em>r</em><em>u</em><em>t</em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>helps determine whether the disease phenotype is only caused by mutation</em> in a single gene or mutations in other genes, giving rise to an identical or similar phenotype.
The answer would be A. carbohydrates (carbs) because carbs are generally composed of sugars and glucose (as an example) has the ratio between carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio in its form: C6H12O6
The Pacific Plate is colliding with the Australian Plate at a rate of about 40 mm/yr. The East coast of the North Island is being compressed and lifted by this collision, producing the North Island and Marlborough Fault Systems.
