Definitions:

Genetically Divergent Populations

Populations that have accumulated genetic differences due to barriers to gene flow, resulting in genetic distinction from each other.

Linkage Disequilibrium

The non-random association of alleles at two or more loci, not necessarily on the same chromosome, which can influence genetic traits and disease risks.

Physical Linkage

The adjacency of two or more loci on the same chromosome.

Genetic Recombination

The exchange of genetic material between paired chromosomes during meiosis. Recombination can form new combinations of alleles and is a source of heritable variation.
