Reduced penetrance and variable expressivity are factors that influence the effects of particular genetic changes. These factors usually affect disorders that have an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance, although they are occasionally seen in disorders with an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.enetrance refers to the proportion of people with a particular genetic change (such as a mutation in a specific gene) who exhibit signs and symptoms of a genetic disorder. If some people with the mutation do not develop features of the disorder, the condition is said to have reduced (or incomplete) penetrance.
Although men have more muscle mass than women, both sexes reach their physical peak as young adults or anywhere from their late 20's to early 30's, according to âHuman Development: A Life-Span Viewâ by Robert Kail and John Cavanaugh.
Girls usually complete puberty by ages 15â17, while boys usually complete puberty by ages 16â17. The major landmark of puberty for females is menarche, the onset of menstruation, which occurs on average between ages 12â13; for males, it is the first ejaculation, which occurs on average at age 13.his muscle develops mainly during the later stages of puberty, and muscle growth can continue even after boys are biologically adult. The peak of the so-called strength spurt, the rate of muscle growth, is attained about one year after a male experiences his peak growth rate.
