Resumen

La aleatorización mendeliana (AM) ofrece una forma poderosa de inferir causalidad utilizando datos genéticos cuando los ensayos controlados aleatorizados (ECA) no son factibles. Este método supera las limitaciones de los estudios observacionales, proporcionando información para campos como la cirugía ortopédica.

Randomized Experiments

The randomization process involves assigning study participants randomly to experimental or control groups based on their probability of being equally assigned. Randomization is meant to eliminate selection bias and balance known and unknown confounding factors so that the control group is similar to the treatment group as much as possible. A computer program and a random number generator can be used to assign participants to groups in a way that minimizes bias.

Law of Independent Assortment

While Mendel’s Law of Segregation states that the two alleles for one gene are separated into different gametes, a different question of how different genes are inherited remains. For example, is the gene for tall plants inherited with the gene for green peas? Mendel asked this question by experimenting with a dihybrid cross; a cross in which both parents are homozygous for two distinct traits resulting in an F1 generation that are heterozygous for both traits.
