What is the difference between hereditary and genetic? What are the inheritance and heredity? What is the difference between Mendelian and polygenic inheritance? What is the difference between multiple gene inheritance and multiple allele inheritance ? What is the difference between an autosomal dominant...
However, the Mexican population is mainly composed of Mestizos (95%), who have a triracial admixture of Caucasian genes coming from the Spanish conquerors, black genes from the African slaves brought by the Spaniards to America, and an Oriental gene-pool derived from the natives. The admixture...
scientists look at genes and the locus where that gene or trait encodes on the chromosome. Since humans possess two copies of each chromosome, they also have two copies of each gene and locus on those chromosomes. Each of these trait-encoding genes (or loci) is an allele. If there are ...
IL-28B rs12979860 C/T allele distribution in patients with liver cirrhosis: role in the course of chronic viral hepatitis and the development of HCC A single nucleotide polymorphism (rs12979860 C/T) 3kb upstream of the interleukin 28B (IL-28B) gene was shown to be associated with hepatitis ...

In the European population that they studied, 16% of individuals are homozygous for the high-risk allele and 47% are heterozygous. The difference of 3 kg between the two homozygous genotypes in adults reflected a difference in fat mass that was associated with an odds ratio of 1.67 for ...
Remember, a chromosome carries genes in linear order; a gene is a segment of code that dictates what trait will develop; and alleles are forms of a gene. For an organism to beheterozygous, it has to have a different allele for the same gene at the same point in the chromosome. ...
traits. Parents don’t pass down an eye color directly, they pass down an allele. If the allele passed down by the blue eyed parents is- blue, and brown for the brown eyed parent, the child will have a blue-brown genotype. Alongside this, the phenotype the child exhibits will be ...
A gene is a portion ofDNAthat determines a trait. A trait is a characteristic, or a feature, passed from one generation to another, like height or eye color. Genes come in multiple forms or versions. Each of these forms is called an allele. For example, the gene responsible for the ha...
