The great white shark is notable for its size, with mature female individuals growing up to 6.1 m (20 ft) in length and 1,950 kg (4,300 lb) in weight. However most are smaller, males measuring 3.35 to 3.96 m (11 ft 0 in to 13 ft 0 in) and females 4.57 to 4.88 m (15 ft 0 in to 16 ft 0 in) on average.
For most ALS genes, only one mutated copy is needed to cause disease. This is called a âdominantâ gene. For other genes, both copies must be mutated to cause disease. This is called a ârecessiveâ gene. During formation of eggs and sperm, gene pairs split up, so that an egg (or sperm) contains only one gene copy.
All types of autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease follow autosomal dominant inheritance. Dominant genetic disorders occur when only a single copy of an abnormal gene is necessary to cause a particular disease. We all have two copies of each gene.
