Linked genes are inherited as a single unit, without independent assortment during meiosis. This prevents random shuffling of alleles, leading to unexpected phenotypic ratios in offspring.
Genos ligados são herdados como uma unidade, sem sortimento independente durante a meiose. Isso impede o embaralhamento aleatório de alelos, resultando em proporções fenotípicas inesperadas na prole.
