What term is applied when two genes fail to assort independently, that is, they tend to segregate together during gamete formation?.

Hi there!

Linkage is the term applied when two genes fail to assort independently.

RESULT ?

☆ The result is that the parental traits will be maintained.

☆ Also, the linked genes sit close together on a chromosome, making them likely to be inherited together (left).

IMPORTANCE

When the chromosomal location for a disease phenotype has been established, then the genetic linkage scrutiny helps determine whether the disease phenotype is only caused by mutation in a single gene or mutations in other genes, giving rise to an identical or similar phenotype.

Hope that helps!

Ibelieve the answer is relative humidity  because it makes more sense that way. solar flares usually occur in space it doesn't affect the earth, well it could but it wont make a significant damage.  latitude is land it doesnt do anything. prevailing winds, i dont know the correct meaning for this but i doubt that affects the land so it has to be relative humidity.
