The heat-shock response and the molecular basis of genetic dominance.

Abstract excerpt

Wild-type alleles are usually dominant over deleterious mutant alleles. For a particular pair of such alleles possible populations include a wild-type homozygote population, a heterozygote population, and a mutant homozygote population. Fisher's theory that dominance would evolve by selection act...
