Question

Suppose you were selecting for a trait in a dog breed, say, a particular spot color, and you found that when you selected dogs with this trait, they also had a defective heart valve. What mechanism is likely to have caused this correlation among your traits?

Answer 1

linkage

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a term that is named DNA linkage and it further explains how there are certain tendencies one can inherit. Some of the parts of the DNA are similar and their chromosomes can be inherited during the part of meiosis. That’s a phase in se**al reproduction. In simpler, plain words, it’s a connection between something. It’s very important as we can see where is the root of the health problem and how it can be changed.
