Abstract
THE purpose of my letter published in NATURE of January 16, p. 86, was to support, by an example, Prof. MacBride's view that mutations that appear together have some common developmental cause. From Prof. Huxley's letter it seems that the term ‘linkage-group’ is to be used only if this cause be unknown, when the hypothesis that the characters are associated because their factors are in the same chromosome is less easily disproved.
