The article derives the probability for lethal recessive alleles in the case of recessive disadvantage or advantage. It is shown that the recessive advantage of a lethal gene can be detected by the ratio of heterozygotes and homozygotes. This demonstrates that the higher IQ of certain ethnic ...
Answer to: Some dominant mutations are lethal when homozygous. Why do you think that natural selection fails to eliminate those alleles from the...
Why should autosomal dominant traits be seen in every generation? Why are there no cures for genetic disorders? Why is trisomy 21 associated with increased risk of cancer? Why do frequent alleles fixate faster? What are the three main categories of Genetic Disorders, and why do geneticists use...
Why are genetic disorders carried on autosomes? Why are most genetic diseases caused by recessive alleles? How many JLNS are autosomal dominant? Why is a dominant allele called dominant? Is Stargardt's autosomal recessive? What causes autosomal dominant disorders?
Why is the homozygous dominant genotype rare in autosomal dominant disease? Why do chromosomes look like an x? Why is a dominant allele called dominant? Do female and male autosomal chromosomes have the same alleles? Why is hereditary spherocytosis autosomal dominant? Why are most geneti...
Genes determine what traits a person will have, such as eye color. Alleles are versions of a gene and are referred to as dominant or recessive. Dominant allele traits are always expressed, while recessive traits are only expressed when coupled...
Some dominant mutations are lethal when homozygous. Why do you think that natural selection fails to eliminate those alleles from the population?Frameshift mutations can be very severe. What is one reason why they are often so serious...
Some dominant mutations are lethal when homozygous. Why do you think that natural selection fails to eliminate those alleles from the population? Why is the Tay-Sachs allele present in human populations that are living today? Why didn't natural...
Why is Rb considered autosomal dominant? Why do genetic mutations pass to offspring in gametes? Why are most genetic diseases caused by recessive alleles? How does crossing over lead to recombinant gametes? How is XYY syndrome inherited? Why is the homozygous dominant genotype rare in autosomal do...
Why is HCM autosomal dominant? Why are genetic mutations important to genetic variation? Why are autosomal monosomy and autosomal trisomy typically lethal? Why is Rb considered autosomal dominant? Why are autosomal trisomies and monosomies rare in humans? What happens if two genes are on the same...
