Explain what are Alleles? What are three or more alleles of the same gene that code for a single trait called? What are the traits in humans that are determined by multiple alleles? What is the term for the specific combination of alleles for a particular gene in an individual?
geneticsDisorders in human sex determination cause defects in gonadal function and can result in a spectrum of abnormalities in the internal and external genitalia, ranging from relatively mild sexual ambiguities to complete sex reversal. Several genes involved in sex determination have been validated in...
Most of the time, when multiple alleles come into play for a trait, there is a mix of types of dominance patterns that occur. Sometimes, one of the alleles is completely recessive to the others and will be masked by any of those that are dominant to it. Other alleles may beco-dominant...
Answer to: ABO blood type in humans exhibits codominance and multiple alleles. What is the likelihood of a type A father and a type A mother having...
The creation of inbred lines resistant to Aspergillus fungal infection or the accumulation of aflatoxins would be aided by knowing the pertinent alleles and metabolites associated with resistance in corn lines. Multiple Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) and association mapping studies have uncovered several ...
cadieri complex fell into two or three clades of the PgiC gene tree: one clade was always allele Y and the others were alleles X1, X2, X3, or X4. Diploids had two alleles (e.g., morph 1 was X2 and Y), and triploids had two or three alleles (e.g., morph 5 was X3 and ...
The y axis shows the scaled average PRS in the population, ranging from 0 to 1, with 1 corresponding to the maximum possible average PRS (that is, when all individuals in the population are homozygous for all positive risk alleles), and the x axis shows time in units of thousands of ...

and recent genetic data has since confirmed that cross-species introgressions ofoptixalleles drive multiple examples of mimetic convergence in the ‘melpomene-cydno-silvaniform’ clade [15,30,32,65]. Introgressions do not directly cause the evolution of novel patterning alleles, but propagate adapti...
Alternative splicing (AS) is a fundamental step in eukaryotic mRNA biogenesis. Here, we develop an efficient and reproducible pipeline for the discovery of genetic variants that affect AS (splicing QTLs, sQTLs). We use it to analyze the GTEx dataset, gen
