Relating to the form of a gene that is not expressed as a trait in an individual unless two such genes are inherited, one from each parent. In an organism having two different genes for a trait, the recessive form is suppressed by its counterpart, or dominant, form located on the other...
A feature of object-oriented programming that allows a new class to be defined simply by stating how it differs from an existing class. (genetics) The acquisition of characteristics by transmission of particular alleles from ancestor to descendant. ...
An individual inherits two alleles, one from each parent, for any given genomic location where such variation exists. If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that allele. If the alleles are different, the individual is heterozygous Credit to: NHGRI Gene The gene is...
The male thus carries only one dose of X-linked genes and is said to be hemizygous for alleles carried on his X chromosome. As a result, if a male inherits a recessive mutant allele such as color blindness on his X chromosome, he expresses color blindness because he lacks the wild-type...
Properties of Alleles from Chapter 13 / Lesson 2 126K An allele is one of two or more versions of a gene and an individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent. Learn more about the properties of alleles as well as dominant and recessive ...
Miller (2000) speculates that if a typical man inherits only a few of the alleles partially preventing androgenization, he would express more kindness, sensitivity, tendermindedness, and empathy. Only occasionally would a sufficient number of these alleles come together to produce homosexuality. Heter...
A nonrandom association between alleles at different loci. Endophenotype An intermediate phenotype that is heritable and associated with a disease but is not itself a symptom of the disease. Although there is little evidence to support the theory, it has been argued that endophenotypes would be a...
If an individual inherits two of the same allele, they are homozygous for that gene. If they inherit two different alleles of the gene–one from their father and the other from their mother–they are heterozygous for that gene. If they inherit only one allele of a gene, by contrast, they...
imputed based on the integrated phase III release of the 1000 Genomes Project30. Study-specific details on data cleaning filters and imputation are given in Supplementary Data1. SNP positions were based on National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) build 37 (hg19) and alleles were ...
Polyalanine expansion mutations produce two peaks on electrophoresis which represent the expanded polyalanine and the wild-type alleles. The ratio of the area under the expanded allele (E) and the sum of the area under both wild-type and expanded alleles (E + N) is a measure of poly...
