What can we learn from selfish loci that break Mendel’s law?

Abstract

Exceptions to Mendel’s law of segregation were important for demonstrating that chromosomes carry genetic material. Scrutiny of additional exceptions to Mendel’s law caused by selfish genes has the potential to unravel other unsolved mysteries of genetics. Exceptions to Mendel’s law of segregation were important for demonstrating that chromosomes carry genetic material. Scrutiny of other exceptional inheritance patterns has the potential to unravel unsolved mysteries of genetics.
