Q

What is polymorphic gene?

A

A genetic system that expresses multiple products

24
Q

Twins have the same polymorphic genes

25
This is the product that is always expressed whenever present
Dominant gene
26
this is the product that will be only expressed if inherited in homozygous manner

What are null phenotypes?
phenotype where it lacks expression of red cell Ag
35
What is amorphic/silent gene?
Gene that expresses no product
