Abstract excerpt
The amplification of DNA by polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction enzyme digestion was used to examine five anonymous single-copy nuclear DNA polymorphisms in 11 pair crosses for juvenile oysters (Crassostrea virginica). There was an overall 7% frequency of aberrant (non-Mendelian) offspring genotypes among 174 total pair-cross progeny. Strict Mendelian inheritance of alleles was observed for two of...
