Example sentences for: heterozygote

How can you use “heterozygote” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

In this situation, population heterozygote advantage does not require overdominance, but merely allele effects that are more than additive (partial dominance).
In this report, we show that although population heterozygote advantage is compatible with allele-specific overdominance, it is also compatible with the opposite; i.e., population heterozygote advantage could arise in a population in which every heterozygote had a worse disease outcome than either of the corresponding homozygotes ("allele-specific underdominance").
Meanwhile, findings of population heterozygote advantage should not be interpreted as confirming the mechanism of allele-specific overdominance.
Note that probe A hybridized to a single 4.4-kbp Bgl II fragment in both the parental diploid strain and the heterozygote (Figure 2B, lanes P and H), thereby verifying that it did not detect the disrupted allele.
It can also accommodate overdominance of the resistant alleles ( a > 1; b > d ; c > d ), in which each heterozygote does better than either corresponding homozygote, and underdominance, in which each heterozygote does worse than either corresponding homozygote ( a < 1; b < 1; c < d ). In this model, susceptibility and resistance are relative and simply refer respectively to lower and higher probabilities of favorable disease course, given infection.
