A: Individual Social Security retirement benefits are not reduced because you are married. Your friend told a common SSA myth based on misunderstanding of a different topic. I will try to explain both today. A popular variation of this question is to ask if there is a SSA marriage penalty. However phrased, the answer is no, Social Security does not have a marriage penalty. Individual Social Security retirement benefits to you and your husband are not reduced because you are married.
Dominant: A genetic trait is considered dominant if it is expressed in a person who has only one copy of that gene.(In genetic terms, a dominant trait is one that is phenotypically expressed in heterozygotes).A dominant trait is opposed to a recessive trait which is expressed only when two copies of the gene are present. (In genetic terms, a recessive trait is one that is phenotypically expressed only in homozygotes).Examples of dominant disorders include: 1  Achondroplasia (a common form of dwarfism with short arms and legs),In genetic terms, a dominant trait is one that is phenotypically expressed in heterozygotes). A dominant trait is opposed to a recessive trait which is expressed only when two copies of the gene are present. (In genetic terms, a recessive trait is one that is phenotypically expressed only in homozygotes).
Dominance in genetics is a relationship between alleles of one gene, in which the effect on phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus. The first allele is dominant and the second allele is recessive.For genes on an autosome (any chromosome other than a sex chromosome), the alleles and their associated traits are autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive. Dominance is a key concept in Mendelian inheritance and classical genetics.omplete dominance therefore means that the phenotype of the heterozygote is indistinguishable from that of the dominant homozygote. A classic example of dominance is the inheritance of seed shape (pea shape) in peas. Peas may be round (associated with allele R) or wrinkled (associated with allele r).
