No Heterozygote Advantage in Fallow Deer
Effects of inbreeding on individual fitness are of long-standing interest in evolutionary biology and conservation studies. Since estimation of the inbreeding coefficient of a given individual is often impossible in wild populations, some authors have attempted to demonstrate inbreeding depression in such populations by correlating the multi-locus marker heterozygosity of individuals with a tra...
متن کاملHeterozygote Advantage for Fecundity
Heterozygote advantage, or overdominance, remains a popular and persuasive explanation for the maintenance of genetic variation in natural populations in the face of selection. However, despite being first proposed more than 80 years ago, there remain few examples that fit the criteria for heterozygote advantage, all of which are associated with disease resistance and are maintained only in the...
متن کاملthe search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

15 صفحه اولHeterozygote advantage for the phenylketonuria allele.
Mean weight at birth of unaffected (normal homozygous and PKU heterozygous) offspring of parents heterozygous for the phenylketonuria (PKU) allele averages significantly above that of Norwegian neonates, with no significant difference in mean age of mothers or in mean parity. It approaches the optimal birthweight--that which confers the minimum overall mortality in the pre-, peri-, and postnata...
متن کاملthe relationship between locus of control and iranian efl university students’ beliefs about language learning
this exploratory study aimed to investigate a possible relationship between learners’ beliefs about language learning and one of their personality traits; that is,locus of control (loc). both variables, beliefs and locus of control, are assumed to influence the language learning process. the internal control index (ici) and the beliefs about language learning inventory (balli) were administered...
