Classic recessive-or-dominant gene dynamics may not be so simple

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-19 13:52:21

In brief A new Stanford study explores how fruit fly populations maintain genetic diversity amid changing environments, which is crucial for survival against future challenges. The research provides direct evidence to support the theory of “dominance reversal” in genetics. Findings indicate that genetic variants can act as dominant or recessive based on environmental conditions – which gives the flies long-term pesticide resistance. Populations live in rapidly changing environments – droughts
