Bio Term gene flow is The movement of genes from one population to another by way of interbreeding of individuals in the two populations.Bio Term realized heritability is Heritability measured by a response to selection. The ratio of the single-generation progress of selection to the selection differential of the parents.
Bio Term gene conversion is A meiotic process of directed change in which one allele directs the conversion of a partner allele to its own form. In asci of Ascomycete fungi a 4:4 ratio of alleles is expected after meiosis, yet 6:2 and 5:3 ratios are sometimes observed. A model of recombination, produced by Holliday, suggests that gene conversion may be explained by repair of heteroduplex DNA.
