CONT

Il existe une relative opposition entre la protection qu'offre l'état hétérozygote et les problèmes liés à l'état homozygote. La fréquence génique dans une population est finalement le produit de l'avantage chez l'hétérozygote et de la mortalité/morbidité chez l'homozygote. C'est ce qu'on a appelé le polymorphisme équilibré.
