Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Metamerism

👉 Metamericism is a type of evolutionary theory that posits that certain genes, or "metameric loci," can be inherited from one organism to another and are not transmitted by random genetic drift. Metameric loci are considered as the direct offspring of the same parent organism, and they carry traits specific to that organism. This theory suggests that these metameric loci could contribute to a greater diversity in organisms than would be expected under traditional genetic drift models.
