LOH stands for Loss of Heterozygosity. LOH happens when a somatic cell consist only of one copy of allele caused by non-disjunction in mitosis, segregation all through out re-combination, or during chromosome segment deletion.

What is the difference between homozygosity and heterozygosity?
Homozygosity is the condition of having two identical alleles from the parents for a gene (AA). Heterozygosity is the condition of having two different alleles for a trait from parents (Aa).
What would be the heterozygosity of a population with allele frequencies of 0.6 and 0.4 for the two alleles and an inbreeding coefficient F of 0.40?
F = 1-observed frequency(Aa)/expected frequency(Aa)
What has happens when an allele becomes fixed?
As alleles become fixed, there is an overall decline in heterozygosity as each population become homozygous for one or the other of the alleles.
Is oxidation the loss of oxygen?
No, oxidation is the loss of electrons.

Human Karyotype-Nomenclature Human genome?
To determine the commonly deleted region on chromosome 3 in carcinoma of the uterine cervix, these samples were also examined for loss of heterozygosity at 5 other loci on chro mosome 3: RAFl(3p24-25) (14); ERBAß(3p22-24.l ) (17); DNF15S2 (3p21) (13); D3S3(3pl4) (13); and SST(3q28) (13). Loss of heterozygosity at the RAF1 locus and the ERBAßlocus was observed in one of 3 patients and 3 of 7 patients (Fig. 1, b c), respectively, but no loss was observed at 2 other loci, DNFI5S2 and SST, whereas duplication of one of two alÃeles was observed in 2 of 6 patients at SST (Table 1). Analysis of loss of heterozygosity at the ERBAßlocus was performed using 2 different DNA probes: a human ERBAßcomplementary DNA clone, pheA4; and a genomic ERBAßDNA clone, pBH302 (15- 17). The pheA4 and pBH302 probes detect BamHl and Hindlll RFLP, respectively, and loss of heterozygosity at this locus was observed in none of 2 patients by using the pheA4 probe and in 3 of 5 patients by the pBH302 probe (Table 1; Fig. lé).No information was available on loss of heterozygosity at the D3S3 locus, because none of the 18 patients was heterozygous in normal tissue at this locus. Therefore, the commonly deleted chromosomal region in carcinoma of the uterine cervix is probably a small part of the short arm of chromosome 3, including the D3S2 locus. These results strongly suggest that recessive genetic changes on chromosome 3p are involved in the development of carcinoma of the uterine cervix.

What is it called when two forms of a trait are both dominant at the same time?
Codominance. It's the case of AB blood types, for instance. Neither trait is dominant over the other, so both manifest.
Is heterozygosity possible in an haploid genome?
Nope. By definition, a haploid genome has one copy of each gene, whereas a diploid genome has two copies (which is important, because it provides genetic diversity and safeguards against defective genes). However, in a diploid genome, the two copies of each gene are not necessarily the same, as most genes have several different versions of themselves, called alleles. If a gene pair consists of two different alleles, it is heterozygotic. Because haploid genomes contain only one allele of each gene, heterozygosity is impossible.

What effect did black Saturday have on the community?
Black Saturday, referring to the wildfires that occurred in Australia in 2009, had a devastating impact on the community. It resulted in loss of life, destruction of homes and properties, and had long-lasting psychological effects on survivors. The communities affected had to come together to support each other in the recovery and rebuilding process.
What is the effect in your daily life in our debt?
Loss of freedom Loss of cash flow Loss of time Loss of opportunities
How do you spell loss when someone dies?
That is the correct spelling "loss" as in "we are sorry for your loss."
What is the formulae for loss percentage?
% loss = amount of loss / cost x 100
Why iron loss is constant but copper loss is variable in a transformer?
Iron loss it includes the core loss is partically the same at all loads and copper loss the value of cu loss is found from short circuit test
