You should now know that -centesis means surgical puncture to remove fluid and is used in the term 'amniocentesis'. '-desis' is a suffix meaning surgical binding or surgical fixation, and it is used in the term arthrodesis. The other suffix that can also mean surgical fixation is '-pexy'.
The INBREEDING COEFFICIENT, F, is used to gauge the strength of inbreeding. F = probability that two alleles in an individual are identical by descent (IBD). F stands for fixation index, because of the increase in homozygosity, or fixation, that results from inbreeding.
