In general, humans have the same genes. A number of genes are varied. These control our physical traits and health. Each variation is called an allele. You inherit two alleles for each gene. One comes ...

Homozygous, or homozygosity, refers to the inheritance of genes from each biological parent. Inheriting faulty genes from both parents can cause a person to develop the associated condition. Genetic ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...

The maize (Zea mays) p1 (for pericarp color1) gene encodes an R2R3 Myb-like transcription factor that regulates the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway in floral organs, most notably kernel pericarp and ...

We have identified a gene located on chromosomes 21 that is expressed in normal and neoplastic prostate, and in normal testis, ovary, and placenta. We name this gene POTE (expressed in prostate, ovary ...
