alleles's Usage Examples:

specific alleles (that is, specific DNA sequences) in a cluster of tightly linked genes on a chromosome that are likely to be inherited together—that is, they.

α-chains, encoded by genetically linked HLA-DQA1 alleles, to form the cis-haplotype isoforms.

Edwards argued that, even if the probability of misclassifying an individual based on the frequency of alleles at a single locus is as high as 30 percent (as Lewontin reported in 1972), the misclassification probability becomes close to zero if enough loci are studied.

Samples from West Africa shared alleles with samples from Southern Africa, and samples from Central Africa shared alleles with samples from Asia.

recessive alleles at a particular locus that can cause genetic disease in a heterozygous state; that is, an organism is a compound heterozygote when it has two.

However, sometimes, different alleles can result in different observable phenotypic traits, such as different pigmentation.

while those that have different alleles at a given locus are called heterozygous.

] However, the typical frequencies of alleles responsible for common complex diseases remain unknown.

likely that some individuals in a population will possess variations of alleles that are suited for the environment.

selective removal of alleles that are deleterious.

product can be correlated with disease-causing alleles, such as the overactivity of oncogenes which can cause cancer.

interactions between the two alleles at a locus can be described as dominant or recessive, according to which of the two homozygous phenotypes the heterozygote.

expressed because of another genetic factor hindering their expression, this epistasis can make it impossible even for dominant alleles on certain other gene-loci.

Synonyms:

dominant allele, allelomorph, recessive allele, recessive, factor, cistron, dominant, gene,

infrequent, inferior, subordinate,
