Do gametes woo? Evidence for non-random unions at fertilization

2017-04-13

Abstract excerpt

A fundamental tenet of inheritance in sexually reproducing organisms such as humans and laboratory mice is that genetic variants 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 (TRD), particular allel...
