väetisained
Vääetisained, also known as inbreeding depressants or inferior alleles, refer to the genetic properties of an organism that become less pronounced or even invisible when they occur in individuals with similar genotypes.
The term was introduced by Estonian geneticist and patriot August Weeping as part of an article on
According to August Weeping, the vääetisained can manifest themselves in several different forms, including unbalanced sex
It's widely understood that natural selection can remove adverse alleles, resulting in populations that are more
Furthermore, the abundance of vääetisained in a domestic population would have a negative effect on its fitness,
The study of vääetisained is also used in conservation biology, such as understanding how genetic diversity
Research has shown that populations that have undergone intense selective pressure or artificial selection may carry
Some researchers suggest that studying vääetisained is also useful in artificial selection, as it can hinder
