| The individual tested was a heterozygote, necessarily possessing a copy of each allele. |
|
| Testing of two PRA affected animals within a 17th breed, the bull mastiff, revealed one heterozygote and one homozygous normal animal. |
|
| The key difference between simple dominance and codominance is that in codominance the heterozygote exhibits a distinct phenotype. |
|
| When a carrier of a sex-linked trait expresses the phenotype, she is called a manifesting heterozygote. |
|
| The point of screening is to reveal the existence of a disease affecting hæmoglobin, even when the patient is a heterozygote. |
|
| The homozygote for a dominantly inherited abnormal gene may be equally affected with the heterozygote. |
|
| As a result, an affected heterozygote has a 50 percent chance of passing on the disease gene to each of his or her children. |
|
| It is a universal phenomenon in the plant and animal world, demonstrating an advantage of heterozygote beings. |
|
| If both genes in a gene pair for a specific trait are different from each other, the cat is called to be heterozygote for this trait. |
|
| Couples at risk may be identified because of a previously affected offspring, a positive family history or by heterozygote screening. |
|
| Indeed, usually the marker phenotypes do not provide the gametic phase of the chromosomes, for example, in the case of a double or multiple heterozygote. |
|
| A hypothetical heterozygote advantage for Northern Europeans has been suggested based on the increased synthesis of vitamin D from increased levels of 7DHC observed in carriers. |
|
| One speaks then respectively about homozygote or heterozygote individuals. |
|
| In a study of 100 children who died from malaria, only 1 was found to be a heterozygote, whereas 22 were expected to be so according to the frequency of the HbS allele in the population. |
|
| The AFM was created in 1958, and for the first 25 years, the president was Yolaine de Kepper, mother of 4 boys with muscular dystrophy and a heterozygote daughter. |
|
| When two mutations occur in different genes, they are said to be complementary, because the heterozygote condition rescues the function otherwise lost in the homozygous recessive state. |
|
| Although the heterozygote gives it an atavistic appearance, the gene is not atavistic. |
|
| Screening for the heterozygote or carrier state is recommended for individuals belonging to population groups known to have an increased risk for carrying certain genetic disorders. |
|
| One mechanism for this is heterozygote advantage, where individuals with two different alleles have a selective advantage over individuals with just one allele. |
|
| Heterozygote females are able to operate earlier in the day compared to all other genotypes. |
