In genetics, the coefficient of coincidence (c.o.c.) is a measure of interference in the formation of chromosomal crossovers during meiosis. It is generally the case that, if there is a crossover at one spot on a chromosome, this decreases the likelihood of a crossover in a nearby spot. [1] This is called interference.
Crossover interference is the term used to refer to the non-random placement of crossovers with respect to each other during meiosis.The term is attributed to Hermann Joseph Muller, who observed that one crossover "interferes with the coincident occurrence of another crossing over in the same pair of chromosomes, and I have accordingly termed this phenomenon ‘interference’."
Σfxy = 1.g 1 + 0.g 2 + 0.g 3 + 0.g 4 = g 1. Σfx = g 1 + g 2 = p A. Σfy = g 1 + g 3 = p B. The covariance between x and y values is Σfxy - Σfx Σfy = g 1 - p A p B. which is equivalent to the LD coefficient, D, as defined above. It is usually convenient to calculate the correlation rather than the covariance, normalising by the variances:
Dilutions are plated onto rich medium to calculate the total number of viable cells ( N t). The number of mutants that appear in the saturated culture is a measure of both the mutation rate and when the mutants arise during the growth of the culture: mutants appearing early in the growth of the culture will propagate many more mutants than ...
In population genetics, the Hill–Robertson effect, or Hill–Robertson interference, is a phenomenon first identified by Bill Hill and Alan Robertson in 1966. [1] It provides an explanation as to why there may be an evolutionary advantage to genetic recombination .
In genetics, the crossover value is the linked frequency of chromosomal crossover between two gene loci ().For a fixed set of genetic and environmental conditions, recombination in a particular region of a linkage structure tends to be constant and the same is then true for the crossover value which is used in the production of genetic maps.
The concept of F-statistics was developed during the 1920s by the American geneticist Sewall Wright, [1] [2] who was interested in inbreeding in cattle. However, because complete dominance causes the phenotypes of homozygote dominants and heterozygotes to be the same, it was not until the advent of molecular genetics from the 1960s onwards that ...
Genotype frequency in a population is the number of individuals with a given genotype divided by the total number of individuals in the population. [2] In population genetics, the genotype frequency is the frequency or proportion (i.e., 0 < f < 1) of genotypes in a population.
