Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance
Law of Segregation
Law of Independent Assortment
Law of Dominance
Examples of Molecular Markers
Highest to Lowest Resolution Power SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) Microsatellites AFLP (Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism) RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA)
Linkage
Markers closest to the underlying gene provide the best linkage. Linkage decreases further from the gene of interest.
