Example sentences for: heterozygote
How can you use “heterozygote” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Put another way, population heterozygote advantage may appear due to a combination of the two distinct mechanisms we defined in the Introduction: the protective or detrimental effects of particular alleles (R and S alleles in our model), and the effects of heterozygosity itself.
We selected 25 Arg +transformants and analyzed them by Southern blotting for integration of the UAU1 cassette into one of the two CaCET1 chromosomal loci to yield the heterozygote CaCET1/cacet1::UAU1 configuration depicted in Figure 1. Briefly, genomic DNA was isolated from the 25 Arg +strains, then digested with Sca I (which cuts neither CaCET1 nor UAU1 ). The digests were resolved by agarose gel-electrophoresis and transferred to membranes, which were probed with a radiolabeled DNA corresponding to the 5' segment of CaCET1 (probe A in Figure 1).
To determine the precise conditions under which population heterozygote advantage will be observed, we consider a general model that predicts the expected outcome of a comparison between heterozygotes and homozygotes in an epidemiological study as a function of (i) the frequencies of resistant and susceptible alleles at a particular locus and (ii) the relationship between genotype at that locus and phenotype.
In this situation, population heterozygote advantage does not require overdominance, but merely allele effects that are more than additive (partial dominance).
However, if only one of the two reactions fail in a two reaction/ single allele per well format, a heterozygote could be miscalled as a homozygote.
