A new study published in Nature Biotechnology describes a novel approach that alters the rules of chromosome segregation in Caenorhabditis elegans resulting in non-Mendelian inheritance of entire ...

Although Mendel's principle of independent assortment states that alleles of different genes will segregate independently into gametes, in reality, this is not always the case. Sometimes, alleles of ...

A preliminary analysis is presented of the mode of inheritance of patterns of male secondary sex coloration in several wild populations of Lebistes reticulatus in Trinidad. A high proportion of such ...

Scientists have unraveled the enigma of inheritance of coat color patterns in dogs. The researchers discovered that a genetic variant responsible for a very light coat in dogs and wolves originated ...
