Autosomal inheritance describes the patterns of genetic transmission related to genes located on autosomal chromosomes. Accordingly, autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive inheritance patterns are based upon transmission of genes found on...

Different alleles of the same gene can have different levels of phenotypic expression (outward appearance). Because genes are usually present in two copies (sex chromosomes being the exception in diploid organisms like humans), this difference in...

An allele of a particular gene on one member of an autosomal pair of CHROMOSOMES, which will contribute to the PHENOTYPE of its encoded protein (see PROTEINS), and hence that of the organism, regardless of the form of allele present on the second...

A term describing an ALLELE of a GENE found on an AUTOSOMAL CHROMOSOME. Because there are two of each autosomal chromosome per cell, a dominant allele will mask a recessive allele, so that the dominant characteristic will be observed in the organism....

In genetics, dominance describes a specific relationship between the effects of different versions of a gene (alleles) on a trait or phenotype. Animals (including humans) and plants are diploid (see ploidy), with two copies of each gene, one inherited...

Relationships between big producers and their suppliers have moved from the confrontational relationship seen in the 1960s and 1970s to more long-term, closer links. This trend has been driven by pressure on profits, shorter product life cycles, worldwide competition and greater complexity of business....
