Example sentences for: overdominance

How can you use “overdominance” 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).
The intuition behind our result that population heterozygote advantage need not reflect allele-specific overdominance can be seen in two simple examples.
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").
We show that, depending on allele frequencies at the HLA locus of interest, population heterozygote advantage may occur when there is allele-specific overdominance, but may also occur under other conditions, including allele-specific underdominance.
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).
