Term
Explain/define diploidy.
Definition
Two alleles for one trait; maintains genetic variation in the form of hidden recessive alleles; allows organisms to be carriers of a gene but not express it
Term
Define balancing selection and describe what it leads to.
Definition
Occurs when natural selection maintains stable frequencies of two or more phenotypic forms in a population; leads to a state called balanced polymorphism
Term
Describe the heterozygote advantage.
Definition
