What is meant by Haplo-sufficiency? (20 points)

Answer 1

Answer 31)

Heterozygous advantage is a kind of selection in which individual which are heterozygous in nature have more fitness as compared to the other genotype. This is the process involed in balancing selection.

Answer 32)

Clade is a group of organism which are the descendants from a common ancestor. It means the clade is the group of taxons in a phylogenetic tree which are arised from a common ancestral node.

Answer 33)

​​​​​​Haploinsufficiency occurs because of dominant gene action. In this case, the presence of single dominant allele in heterozygous condition is not suitable to produce a standard phenotype.

for example, The protein produced by heterozygous condition is not have same amount as of homozygous dominant in case of haploinsufficient condition.
