0 having two different forms of a gene (= part of a cell containing DNA information) that controls a particular characteristic, one inherited from each parent, and therefore able to pass on either form: --
a heterozygous cell
1 having two different forms of a gene that controls one characteristic, and therefore able to pass either form to the young --
This is because these inversions are more frequently found in the heterozygous state, which suppresses recombination inside the inversions.
Only for nuclear families with e at least one parent heterozygous at the marker locus are the parents' phenotypes simulated.
The data on heterozygous effects were collected from the present estimates gathered in both the dominance and epistasis studies.
This will tend to generate spurious correlations in the estimated fitnesses of the two heterozygous frequencies of the wild-type chromosome with the balancer.
All eight loci exhibited three or more abundant alleles and possessed a number of minor alleles in heterozygous combination with major alleles.
Heterozygous knock-out mice for brain-derived neurotrophic factor show a pathway-specific impairment of long-term potentiation but normal critical period for monocular deprivation.
There are two alternative haplotype reconstructions for a pair of loci for which a sire is heterozygous.
Increased dominance also, of course, reduces the rate of the ratchet, because selection reduces the frequency of mutations even when they are heterozygous.
