linkage /link·age/ (lingk´ij) 1. the connection between different atoms in a chemical compound, or the symbol representing it in structural formulas; see also bond. 2. in genetics, the association of genes having loci on the same chromosome, which results in the tendency of a group of such nonallelic genes to be associated in inheritance. 3. in psychology, the connection between a stimulus and its response.
linkage, n 1. in genetics, the location of two genes on the same chromosome such that they are typically transmitted as a cohesive unit during meiosis. 2. in psychology, the relationship between a response and its stimulus. linkage (ling´k n the connection between two or more objects. In computer programming, coding that connects two separately coded routines. linkage, cross, n See polymerization, cross. linkage, sex, n the inheritance of certain characteristics that are determined by genes located in the sex chromosomes. linkage 1. the connection between different atoms in a chemical compound, or the symbol representing it in structural formulae. See also bond. 2. in genetics, the association of genes having located on the same chromosome, which results in the tendency of a group of such nonallelic genes to be associated in inheritance (linkage disequilibrium).

Coming up on a sharp curve as you drive your HMMWV is not the best time to find out the accelerator pedal linkage is sticking. Offers 180 gross hp parallel lift linkages and integral quick couplers to handle a wide range of material handling tasks have designed a clamp-system for diecasting machines that maintains the advantages of mechanical linkage style clamp machines while eliminating the limitations that prevent dramatic productivity and operational cost improvements. |
