Abstract excerpt
Mendel's law of equal segregation states that during gamete formation, the 2 alleles at a gene locus segregate such that each gamete has an equal probability of containing either allele. Transmission ratio distortion (TRD) occurs when 1 of the 2 alleles from either parent is preferentially transmitted to the offspring, resulting in a deviation from the expected 1:1 ratio. Although TRD has been observed and...
