Sturtevant’s Law

Target entity: Sturtevant’s Law
Context triple: [Edgar H. Sturtevant, notableWork, Sturtevant’s Law]

• A. Mendel's laws
  Mendel's laws are the foundational principles of heredity that explain how traits are inherited through discrete genetic units from one generation to the next.
• B. Haldane’s rule
  Haldane’s rule is a principle in evolutionary biology stating that when in the offspring of two different animal species or subspecies one sex is absent, rare, or sterile, that sex is usually the heterogametic one (e.g., XY or ZW).
• C. Hardy–Weinberg principle
  The Hardy–Weinberg principle is a fundamental concept in population genetics that describes how allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from generation to generation in an idealized, non-evolving population.
• D. Alfred Sturtevant
  Alfred Sturtevant was an American geneticist best known for creating the first genetic linkage map of chromosomes, laying foundational work for modern genetics.
• E. law of segregation
  The law of segregation is a fundamental principle of genetics stating that the two alleles for a trait separate during gamete formation, so each gamete carries only one allele for each gene.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

Target entity: Sturtevant’s Law
Target entity description: Sturtevant’s Law is a linguistic principle in Indo-European studies that explains a characteristic pattern of consonant lengthening in Hittite as a reflex of earlier voiceless stops.
