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.
A Mendelian trait is caused by a single gene. 3. Traits can be dominant or recessive and recur in a predictable pattern in subsequent generations. 4. Autosomal Dominant Inheritance: Autosomal dominant traits do not generally skip generations and can affect both sexes.
