Question
What do you mean by Mendelian error ?
Answer
Mendelian error, also known as transmission distortion, refers to the deviation of observed genotypic or phenotypic ratios from the expected ratios predicted by Mendelian laws. This can occur due to various factors such as genetic linkage, chromosomal aberrations, and non-random mating. It can lead to the inheritance of certain traits in a manner that is not consistent with classical genetics.
