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.
Inheritance of a specific disease, condition, or trait depends on the type of chromosome affected (autosomal or sex chromosome) whether the trait is is dominant or recessive. A single, abnormal gene on one of the first 22 non-sex chromosomes from either parent can cause autosomal disorder.Dominant inheritance means an abnormal gene from one parent is capable of causing disease even though the matching gene from the other parent is normal.The abnormal gene dominates the pair of genes. single, abnormal gene on one of the first 22 non-sex chromosomes from either parent can cause autosomal disorder. Dominant inheritance means an abnormal gene from one parent is capable of causing disease even though the matching gene from the other parent is normal. The abnormal gene dominates the pair of genes.
