Determinig linkage map and parental genotype

... of males proves that three alleles (and other in my hypothesis) are located in X-chromosome. Now, we consider the ratio of male's phenotype: The parental class (a+cb+ plus ac+b) is 87%. The double crossovers (ac+b+ plus a+cb) are 0.3%. It proves that the central allele is c. The single region ...

... of 2–3% of observed cases of Down syndrome. 95% of the observed cases of Trisomy 21 is anueploidy caused by meiotic nondisjunction events in the parental gametes (88% in the female gamete, and 7% in the male gamete).

Genomic Imprinting In Humans (and classical genetics)

Steven, you are right that dominant alleles mask recessive ones in normal expression, but with genomic imprinting because it is parental specific it ignores or masks the other. For example if you had a dominant allele 'A' from the mother and recessive allele 'a' from the father and genomic ...

Re: Any SOLID arguments against evolution?

... a fusion makes a total of 46 chromosomes, instead of the 48 of all great apes. Here, a parent passed to offspring a fused copy in one of the two parental gametes, to birth a being with 47 chromosomes. That fusion then passed into the population where the fusion would then on occasion have the ...
