genopdukkende

Genopdukkende, also known as "genetic rescue," refers to a phenomenon in genetics where a mutation in one gene is compensated for by the presence of a functional copy of the same gene. This can occur in various contexts, such as in diploid organisms where one allele is mutated and the other is wild-type, or in polyploid organisms where multiple sets of chromosomes are present. The term is often used in the context of genetic disorders, where a single mutated gene can be "rescued" by the presence of a normal copy, preventing the manifestation of the disorder. This concept is crucial in understanding the inheritance patterns of genetic traits and the potential for genetic modification to correct genetic defects. Genopdukkende is a fundamental principle in genetics and has significant implications for medical research and genetic counseling.
