heterozygote betydelse and definition

Exempel på heterozygote

• Both parents were heterozygotes for PK deficiency.

• In areas where malaria is common, heterozygotes have a strong selective advantage.

• If all heterozygotes have the same fitness, then the rare chromosome doubles in frequency in every generation.

• In our experiment, overdominant mutations will be scored as beneficial because we are scoring heterozygotes.

• The loss in successful outcross pollen in the heterozygote is then compensated by a gain in outcrossed ovules.

• These loci were not statistically dependent with no apparent heterozygote deficit or excess.

• We assume that all mutations segregating in the population are equally deleterious and have equivalent fitness effects in heterozygotes.

• Selection against heterozygotes is also unlikely because deviations were detected for 3 of the 6 polymorphic loci analysed.
