Linkage disequilibrium — In population genetics, linkage disequilibrium is the non random association of alleles at two or more loci, not necessarily on the same chromosome. It is not the same as linkage, which describes the association of two or more loci on a… … Wikipedia

genetic linkage — The term refers to the fact that certain genes tend to be inherited together, because they are on the same chromosome. Thus parental combinations of characters are found more frequently in offspring than non parental. Linkage is measured by the… … Dictionary of molecular biology
