  • In cell signalling , Son of Sevenless , or SOS , is a gene encoding a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that acts on Ras - GTPases . (bionity.com)
  • The sequence of this gene is defined by 16 cDNA clones and 18 elements defined by RNA-seq, some from mixed (seen 7 times), embryo (5), l2 (once). (nih.gov)
  • An allele is one of two or more versions of DNA sequence (a single base or a segment of bases) at a given genomic location. (genome.gov)
  • The cell reads the sequence of the gene in groups of three bases. (easierwithpractice.com)
  • There was a single earlobe gene, which had two alleles. (thetech.org)
  • Although some sources say that this trait is controlled by a single gene, with unattached earlobes being dominant over attached earlobes, no published studies support this view. (utah.edu)
  • Many sources state that tongue rolling is controlled by a single gene. (utah.edu)
  • Having even a single M allele actually raises the chance of being deaf, although the chance of an Mm merle being bilaterally deaf is still less than 1 percent. (akc.org)
  • Dominant" means that a single copy of the mutated gene (from one parent) is enough to cause the disorder. (genome.gov)
  • By contrast, an autosomal dominant disorder requires only a single copy of the mutated gene from one parent to cause the disorder. (genome.gov)
  • In particular, a variant of this gene called the e4 allele seems to increase an individual's risk for developing late-onset Alzheimer's disease. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Both grandparents pass a copy of this recessive allele to their children - the baby's mother and father. (familyeducation.com)
  • Each autosomal gene is therefore represented by two copies, or alleles, with one copy inherited from each parent at fertilization. (wikipedia.org)
  • The researchers were able to succeed by using one egg from an immature parent, thus reducing maternal imprinting, and modifying it to express the gene Igf2, which is normally only expressed by the paternal copy of the gene. (wikipedia.org)
  • If you have even one copy of the dominant allele, you'll have the dominant trait. (thetech.org)
  • You have free earlobes, which means you have at least one copy of the dominant allele. (thetech.org)
  • This is the merle allele ( M ) and one copy of the non-merle allele ( m ). (akc.org)
  • The merle (M) allele is a semi-dominant gene, meaning it only takes one copy of the M allele to produce a merle. (akc.org)
  • If it's dominant, it means only one mutated copy is needed to result in disease. (healthline.com)
  • Since the mutated gene is dominant, a person with just one copy will develop Huntington's disease. (healthline.com)
  • Dogs with only one copy will be healthy, but there will be minor abnormalities in some of their blood cells that indicate they carry the gene. (ashgi.org)
  • The multiplex ligation‑dependent probe amplification project of the Angel/chubby and copy number variation (CNV) sequencing were assessed concomitantly to identify the pathogenic genes responsible for the development of AS. (spandidos-publications.com)
  • People inherit one copy of each gene from their mother and one copy from their father. (cdc.gov)
  • If both parents have one copy of the mutated gene, each child has a 25% chance of having the disease, even though neither parent has it. (cdc.gov)
  • which means one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to result in warfarin sensitivity. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Here, variation in a gene affecting the development and movement of pigment cells, KIT , is examined. (creation.com)
  • the greater the number of genes involved, the greater the possible range of variation. (thecanadianencyclopedia.ca)
  • For example, a dog's size as an adult is determined partly by his or her genes, but is also influenced by environmental factors such as its health as a puppy and the food it eats. (poodleclubofamerica.org)
  • In normal brain tissues, the maternal UBE3A gene is actively expressed, whereas the paternal UBE3A gene is not. (spandidos-publications.com)
  • The various characteristics of AS are primarily caused by maternal allele dysfunction of the UBE3A gene and paternal imprinting ( 5 ). (spandidos-publications.com)
  • We show that although the nascent Y chromosome encompasses nearly half of the linkage group, there has been no perceptible degradation of Y chromosome gene content or activity. (nature.com)
  • There is less linkage of dog genes because they have been divided up into more chromosome packages. (ashgi.org)
