Type of Linkage 

Genes located close together on the same chromosome are called linked genes

Incomplete linkage, intermediate between the two extremes of independent assortment and complete linkage.

Five types of constraints affect the stability of an  helix: 

(1) the intrinsic propensity of an amino acid residue to form an  helix; 

(2) the interactions between R groups, particularly those spaced three (or four) residues apart; 

(3) the bulkiness of adjacent R groups; 

(4) the occurrence of Pro and Gly residues; and 

(5) interactions between amino acid residues at the ends of the helical segment and the electric dipole inherent to the  helix.
