A non-random association of two or more alleles at two or more loci; normally caused by an interaction between genes, and often illustrated on a pairwise linkage disequilibrium diagram (HapMap)
The part of the data division of a COBOL program that describes the format of variables and constants passed to the program as parameters, either from JCL or from a calling program
A triangular graphical representation of linkage disequilibrium in which different colours represent different magnitudes of linkage between pairs of loci
(Biyoloji) A map of the genes on a chromosome based on linkage analysis. A linkage map does not show the physical distances between genes but rather their relative positions, as determined by how often two gene loci are inherited together. The closer two genes are (the more tightly they are linked), the more often they will be inherited together. Linkage distance is measured in centimorgans (cM)
The ability to buy (sell) contracts on one exchange (such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange ) and later sell (buy) them on another exchange (such as the Singapore International Monetary Exchange )
The proximity of two or more markers (genes, etc ) on a chromosome; the closer together the markers are, the lower the probability that they will be separated during DNA repair or replication process, and hence the greater the probability that they will be inherited together
(genetics) traits that tend to be inherited together as a consequence of an association between their genes; all of the genes of a given chromosome are linked (where one goes they all go)
The frequency of coinheritance of a pair of genes and/or genetic markers, which provides a measure of their physical proximity to one another on a chromosome
the act of linking things together a mechanical system of rods or springs or pivots that transmits power or motion (genetics) traits that tend to be inherited together as a consequence of an association between their genes; all of the genes of a given chromosome are linked (where one goes they all go) an associative relation
The proximity of two or more genes on a chromosome; the closer together the genes are, the greater the probability that they will be inherited together or show linkage
The proximity of two or more markers (e g , genes, RFLP markers) on a chromosome; the closer the markers, the lower the probability that they will be separated during DNA repair or replication processes (binary fission in prokaryotes, mitosis or meiosis in eukaryotes), and hence the greater the probability that they will be inherited together
Linkage is an arrangement where one country agrees to do something only if another country agrees to do something in return. There is no formal linkage between the two agreements He insisted that there could be no linkage with other Mideast problems. In mechanical engineering, a system of solid, usually metallic, links (bars) connected to two or more other links by pin joints (hinges), sliding joints, or ball-and-socket joints to form a closed chain or a series of closed chains. When one link is fixed, the possible movements of the other links relative to the fixed link and to one another depend on the number of links and the number and types of joints. With four pin-connected links, for example, the links all move in parallel planes, and regardless of which link is fixed, the others move in a fixed way relative to the fixed link. With various relative lengths of the links, this four-bar linkage becomes a useful mechanism for converting uniform rotary to non-uniform rotary motion or continuous rotary to oscillatory motion. It is the most commonly used linkage mechanism in machine construction
A direct or indirect causal relationship between two or more systems, where changes in one affect the status of another Linkages among systems are often reflected in the indicators that measure the health of those systems Connections originate from actions, policies, projects, social conditions, economic forces, and environmental changes that affect two or more indicators
The ability to buy (sell) contracts on one exchange (such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange) and later sell (buy) them on another exchange (such as the Singapore International Monetary Exchange)
Physical relationship between markers on a chromosome; the linkage number gives an estimate of the probability that two markers will be inherited together The closer together the markers, the lower the probability that they will be separated during chromosome pairing after fertilization
A linkage between two things is a link or connection between them. The linkage of two things is the act of linking or connecting them. No one disputes the direct linkage between the unemployment rate and crime We're trying to establish linkages between these groups and financial institutions. the creation of new research materials by the linkage of previously existing sources
Measures the physical distance between two genes Genes that are close together are unlikely to segregate in a sexual cross Distant genes segregate independently are are then said to be unlinked
A pair or set of genes on a chromosome that tend to be transmitted together. All the genes on a single chromosome. They are inherited as a group; during cell division they act and move as a unit rather than independently. Variations in linkage groups can occur if a chromosome breaks, and the sections join with the partner chromosome if it has broken in the same places. This exchange of genes between chromosomes, called crossing-over, usually occurs during meiosis. Sex linkage is the tendency of a characteristic to be linked to one sex; sex-linked traits in humans include red-green colour blindness and hemophilia
The condition in which a gene responsible for a specific trait is located on a sex chromosome, resulting in sexually dependent inheritance of the trait
mechanism consisting of a system of rods and levers connected to the front wheels of a motor vehicle; the steering gear pushes the steering linkage left or right which swivels the front wheels causing the vehicle to turn
(Otomotiv) The system that connects the steering wheel to the front wheels and allows the wheels to change direction in response to commands from the driver. Contains grease fittings to cushion against wear and friction
