supergenes
new research
new definition: A genetic architecture involving multiple linked functional genetic elements that allows switching between discrete, complex phenotypes maintained in a stable local polymorphism.
a stable type of polymorphism is controlled by a single locus. It must be done in a Mendelian manner and is maintained at a stable rate.

. P. memnon and P. polytes show mimicry. Multiple changes are inherited as a single trait. A second locus determines the presence/absence of tails
origins of supergenes
selection might modify the recombination rate between two linked loci and the rate of change in recombination.

-
supergenes: balanced polymorphism which complex adaptations have simple genetic basis. Have multiple linked loci that regulate specific phenotypes.
