If an individual inherits two identical alleles, their genotype is said to be homozygous at that locus. However, if they possess two different alleles, their genotype is classed as heterozygous for ...

All simulations had five alleles per locus, which resulted in an average observed heterozygosity of 0.66 (which was reduced to 0.59 when null alleles were introduced). With these allele ...

A small cluster of cells deep within our brains, called the locus coeruleus, affects how awake and attentive we are, how we ...

One of these alleles is a D gene (for dextral ... The proposed genetic locus that determines hand preference contains an allele from each parent, and the various possible genetic combinations ...
