(n)(genetics) traits that tend to be inherited together as a consequence of an association between their genes; all of the genes of a given chromosome are linked (where one goes they all go), Syn.gene linkage

linkage

(n)a mechanical system of rods or springs or pivots that transmits power or motion

linkage

(n)the act of linking things together

linkage editor

(n)an editor program that creates one module from several by resolving cross-references among the modules

linkage group

(n)any pair of genes that tend to be transmitted together, Syn.linked genes

sex linkage

(n)an association between genes in sex chromosomes that makes some characteristics appear more frequently in one sex than in the other

steering linkage

(n)mechanism consisting of a system of rods and levers connected to the front wheels of a motor vehicle; the steering gear pushes it left or right which swivels the front wheels, causing the vehicle to turn

cross-link

(n)a side bond that links two adjacent chains of atoms in a complex molecule, Syn.cross-linkage

peptide bond

(n)the primary linkage of all protein structures; the chemical bond between the carboxyl groups and amino groups that unites a peptide, Syn.peptide linkage

Linkage

n. 1. The act of linking; the state of being linked; also, a system of links. [ 1913 Webster ]

2. (Chem.) Manner of linking or of being linked; -- said of the union of atoms or radicals in the molecule. [ 1913 Webster ]

3. (Geom.) A system of straight lines or bars, fastened together by joints, and having certain of their points fixed in a plane. It is used to describe straight lines and curves in the plane. [ 1913 Webster ]

4. Any object, factor, or relationship that creates a bond or association between two other objects. [ PJC ]

5. Specifically: (Genetics) The proximity of two or more genes on the genome of an organism that causes those genes to be inherited, transferred, or moved together with a frequency greater than for genes not associated. The linkage is a continuous variable, and is inversely related to the distance between genes on the genome. [ PJC ]
