Abstract
By studying symmetric mass textures for the up and down quark sectors, and expanding in a small parameter lambda similar to sin theta(C), bo unds are set on entries commonly assumed to vanish. Consequences of a 2+1 family structure which can result from horizontal symmetry are exa mined. Generalizing to squarks, we study suppression of flavor-changin g neutral currents by mass degeneracy and/or small mixing angles.
