Gene expression results in the production of a particular phenotypic character. Organisms with the same genotype may have different phenotypes in different environments. For example, two plants may be genotypically short, but if one is grown under conditions of poor light, it will become etiolated and hence taller than the other. Organisms with the same genotype may also show different phenotypes if the penetrance of the gene differs. On the other hand, organisms with different genotypes may have the same phenotype if each contains a dominant gene : in the same environment the homozygous organism AA is phenotypically identical to the heterozygous Aa in respect of gene A. 2, record 5, English, - phenotypic%20expression

Phenomenon observed when combinations of mutant alleles do not produce the phenotype expected from the phenotypes of the homozygotes. It is in contrast to those situations in which one allele is dominant over the other, so that the phenotype of the heterozygote is very similar or identical to that of the homozygous dominant. Also, it is different from those situations in which the two alleles show an additive effect, and the phenotype of the heterozygote is intermediate between those expected from the homozygotes. 2, record 6, English, - allelic%20interaction

En génétique élémentaire on suppose, pour la simplicité de la chose, que les gènes se comportent comme des unités héréditaires autonomes, qu'il y a interaction entre les allèles d'un même gène, mais non pas entre gènes situés à différents loci. Ce genre de comportement, simple, est celui que l'on pouvait observer dans les expériences de Mendel. En fait le mode d'action d'un grand nombre de gènes est modifié par l'action de gènes situés à d'autres loci. L'expression de nombreux caractères mendéliens, c'est-à-dire du type qualitatif, tels la pigmentation, la forme de la corolle, la couleur du pelage, etc., de même que de nombreux caractères quantitatifs est contrôlée par l'action simultanée d'une série de paires alléliques.

Haploids have one set of chromosomes(n=1), which is the same as a gamete(pollen or egg cell). Haploids can be distinguished from diploids(n=2) by using gene markers which are closely linked with the gene under study so they can be visually detected by their physical characteristics. They are used in plant breeding to obtain pure lines that are homozygous by using colchicine to double the chromosome number, or by relying on spontaneous mutations. 1, record 13, English, - haploid

Conventional barley varieties are homozygous pure lines. This means that the offspring of any plant of a particular variety are identical to that plant and to each other.

The development of influenza virus-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte precursors(CTLp) is diminished in H-2b mice that are homozygous(-/-) for disruption of the H-2IA b gene. Virus clearance was not obviously delayed when compared with the congenic H-2IAb(+/+) controls, and evidence of CTL activity was apparent for inflammatory cells recovered from the respiratory tract in both cases. However, the virus-specific CTLp that are normally present in the regional lymph nodes and in the infected lung were evidently being consumed at the peak of the host response to give the terminally differentiated CTL effectors. 1, record 21, English, - cytotoxic%20T%20lymphocyte%20precursor

In the bulk method of handling hybrid material the entire population from a cross is grown and harvested in mass each year. Successive crops of seed are sown for five to ten years to allow natural selection for characters, such as cold resistance or insect resistance, to take place. By this time the poorly adapted strains are largely eliminated, while the remaining strains are mostly pure breeding(or homozygous).
