Table 1 Mendelian genetics from the perspective of evolutionary biology.
Type of mutation | Usual phenotype | Estimated Frequency (in mammalian genomes) |
|---|---|---|
Silent | None | 97 - 99.9% |
Gene inactivation | Recessive | 3 - 0.1% |
New gene function | Dominant | 10-4 - 10-5 |
Gene dosage effect | Co-recessive | 3 - 0.1% |
Change of function | Co-dominant | 10-4 - 10-5 |
