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.
The Kosambi mapping function was introduced to account for the impact played by crossover interference on recombination frequency. It introduces a parameter C, representing the coefficient of coincidence, and sets it equal to 2r. For loci which are strongly linked, interference is strong; otherwise, interference decreases towards zero. [5]
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’."
Former Rep. Lee Zeldin, Trump's pick to lead the EPA, made $186,000 from paid op-eds and speeches. Some of those op-eds criticized climate policies and ESG.
There are two popular and overlapping theories that explain the origins of crossing-over, coming from the different theories on the origin of meiosis.The first theory rests upon the idea that meiosis evolved as another method of DNA repair, and thus crossing-over is a novel way to replace possibly damaged sections of DNA.

Tub Winner: Tru Whip. Tru Whip delivered a fine balance between flavor and texture. It's pleasantly sweet, and with a subtle hint of vanilla, its flavors aren't too overwhelming but also aren't ...
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has developed many beefs over the last few years, but his latest has come with ESPN analyst Ryan Clark.
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 .
