Which one pair of genes is the weakest?

It is difficult to determine a specific pair of genes as the "weakest" because gene strength can vary depending on context. Generally, genes may be considered weaker if they have lower expression levels or if mutations in them have a milder effect on the phenotype.


One member of a pair or series of genes that occupies a specific position on a specific chromosome is referred to as?
