Hi there!

<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.

Hope that helps!

PtichkaEL [24]

If an individual has an <u>increased</u> rate of blood flow to the skin,such as would happen with emotion or alcohol consumption ,their skin takes on a <u>reddish</u> tinge.

Our skin is provided with a large number of  blood capillaries. These capillaries bring blood and nutrients to the layers of skin. Whenever vasodilation of these capillaries occur, the blood flow to the skin increases and the skin gets a reddish tinge.

During an emotional upsurge such as embarrassment causes the adrenal glands to release adrenaline.

Adrenaline as well as alcohol vasodilates the blood  vessels and increases the flow of blood to the skin. Hence, the skin gets a reddish tinge.
