Do Gametes Woo? Evidence for Their Nonrandom Union at Fertilization.

1 Oct 2017

Abstract excerpt

A fundamental tenet of inheritance in sexually reproducing organisms such as humans and laboratory mice is that gametes combine randomly at fertilization, thereby ensuring a balanced and statistically predictable representation of inherited variants in each generation. This principle is encapsulated in Mendel's First Law. But exceptions are known. With transmission ratio distortion, particular alleles are...
