Examples of dominant lethal in the following topics:
-
- In other instances, the recessive lethal allele might also exhibit a dominant (but not lethal) phenotype in the heterozygote.
- The dominant lethal inheritance pattern is one in which an allele is lethal both in the homozygote and the heterozygote; this allele can only be transmitted if the lethality phenotype occurs after reproductive age.
- Individuals with mutations that result in dominant lethal alleles fail to survive even in the heterozygote form.
- Dominant lethal alleles are very rare because, as you might expect, the allele only lasts one generation and is not transmitted.
- However, just as the recessive lethal allele might not immediately manifest the phenotype of death, dominant lethal alleles also might not be expressed until adulthood.
-
- Shocks range in severity from painful but otherwise harmless to heart-stoppingly lethal.
- The lethality of an electric shock is dependent on several variables:
- Current: The higher the current, the more likely it is lethal.
- Duration: The longer the duration, the more likely it is lethal -- safety switches may limit the time of current flow.
- Pathway: If current flows through the heart muscle, it is more likely to be lethal.
-
- Initial stage: the first 1–9 weeks; the period with the greatest number of deaths—90 percent due to thermal injury and/or blast effects and 10 percent due to super-lethal radiation exposure.
- Intermediate stage: from 10–12 weeks; deaths in this period are from ionizing radiation in the median lethal range.
-
- The lethal war with Kalinga transformed the vengeful Emperor Ashoka into a stable and peaceful emperor, and he became a patron of Buddhism.
- Throughout Theravada Southeastern Asia, the model of rulership embodied by Ashoka replaced the notion of divine kingship that had previously dominated (in the Angkor kingdom, for instance).
-
- Ionizing radiation is generally harmful, even potentially lethal, to living organisms.
- Ionizing radiation is generally harmful, even potentially lethal, to living organisms.
-
- The key difference between euthanasia and PAD is who administers the lethal dose of medication.
- The patient must be of sound mind when they request a prescription for a lethal dose of medication.
-
- Most forms of the disease are lethal, and it affects both humans and animals.
- This is known as inhalation anthrax or pulmonary anthrax and can cause serious, sometimes lethal respiratory disease.
-
- Tuberculosis is a common, and in many cases lethal, infectious bacterial disease that mainly affects the lungs.
- Tuberculosis (TB; short for tubercle bacillus) is a common, and in many cases lethal, infectious disease caused by various strains of mycobacteria, usually Mycobacterium tuberculosis .
-
- A well-known example is the tetrodotoxin of fish species such as Takifugu rubripes, the famously lethal pufferfish of Japanese fugu.
- A non-lethal dose of this toxin results in temporary paralysis.
- Tetrodotoxin, frequently abbreviated as TTX, is a potent neurotoxin with no known antidote, produced by the lethal pufferfish used for Japanese fugu.
-
- Many metabolites are toxic and can even be lethal to animals that ingest them.
