ABSTRACT Eleven minisatellite (VNTR) DNA loci were examined for Mendelian inheritance and possible linkage relationships in a brown trout family (54 offspring). Analyses of the full progeny

set (males and females combined) showed no statistically significant departures from Mendelian expectations at any locus, and no new mutations were observed. However, at one locus, _Str_-A9,

differential segregation (_P_ < 0.001) of parental alleles into male and female progeny was recorded. This is indicative of tight linkage between _Str_-A9 and the sex determining region

in the brown trout, and confirms the male as the heterogametic sex in this species. Joint segregation analyses of 83 different pairwise comparisons of loci revealed nonrandom assortment in

only two instances, i.e. both male and female comparisons of _Str_-A22/1 with _Str_-A22/2. These findings illustrate the importance of inheritance studies in clarifying the genetic basis

underlying minisatellite DNA polymorphisms prior to their use as individual, familial or population markers. SIMILAR CONTENT BEING VIEWED BY OTHERS SEGREGATION DISTORTION: HIGH GENETIC LOAD
