After reading this article we will learn about the consequences and co-efficient of inbreeding. The mating of individuals more closely related than individuals mating at random is known as inbreeding. The most intense form of inbreeding is selfing. Consequences of Inbreeding: (i) Reduction in genetic variance within a small population (ii) General decrease in over-all heterozygosity (iii) Differentiation of a [...]
Most molecular markers fall into one of three basic categories of techniques that use either hybridization or are based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR): Category # 1: Hybridization Based (non-PCR) Techniques: Category I includes restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, where probes are hybridized to filters containing DNA which has been digested with restriction enzymes. The resultant fragments are [...]
After reading this article you will learn about the concept and methods of stability. Concept of Stability: The term 'phenotypic stability', yield stability, and adaptation are often used in quite different senses. Therefore, Dorst (1957) remarked that "the word adaptation has great adaptability" and Lin (1986) amplified that "it (the concept of stability) is defined in many ways depending on, [...]
