We introduce an attraction hypothesis and repulsion hypothesis on combinations of genes and we characterize "gene/locus pair" as a "Unique Inheritance" if the pair satisfies one of the hypotheses. We propose a method based on a statistical approach to extract a set of gene-locus pairs characterized as "Unique Inheritance", and also two new genetic operations, attraction mutation and repulsion mutation.
