Example sentences for: overdominance

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

The foregoing examples show that the finding of population heterozygote advantage, as in the infectious disease studies cited, does not support an inference of allele-specific overdominance, the condition of primary interest as an immunological hypothesis and a mechanism for the maintenance of MHC diversity.
Figure 1shows that allele-specific overdominance (the biological phenomenon of interest) and population heterozygote advantage (the finding of epidemiological studies such as those cited above) are two different things.
Although neither population heterozygote advantage nor allele-specific overdominance implies the other, the two phenomena are of course related.
Because these studies group all homozygotes and group all heterozygotes, they do not, in fact, test the hypothesis of allele-specific overdominance, which is conditional on the alleles involved.
Specifically, the conditions to observe population heterozygote advantage are broadest when allele-specific overdominance holds and become narrower as the underlying genetics becomes more "different" from overdominance of resistance (dominance -> additivity -> recessiveness -> underdominance).
