Two unlinked loci effect mouse hair color. CC or Cc mice are agouti. Mice with genotype cc are albino because all pigment production and deposition of pigment in hair is blocked.
The law of independent assortment; unlinked or distantly linked segregating gene pairs assort independently at meiosis.

thermoplastics Soft plastics composed of single-chain, unlinked polymers, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinylchloride, polystyrene, and polyester, that can be remelted and reformed to make useful products.
Synthetic lethality or unlinked non-complementation - two mutations fail to complement and yet do not map to the same locus.
Epistatic interaction: In genetic epidemiology, an epistatic effect is the modification of the risk conferred by one marker by the presence of a marker from an unrelated gene (unlinked gene-gene interaction).
Recombination frequency
The frequency at which crossing over occurs between two chromosomal loci; the probability that two loci will become unlinked during meiosis.
In addition, projects that do not successfully interact with other databases will lead to inefficiencies associated with unlinked data.
