==Why this isn't in mutation==

I made this article (and redirected the morphs from mutation) so that a student of genetics can easily find a comparison of Muller's terms. It's important to keep them together with the genetic definitions (e.g. m/+ > m/m). Now it would be nice to have a simple real-life example for each morph. Dr d12 02:34, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please translate into english

Increasing wildtype gene function reduces the phenotypic severity of an antimorph, so the phenotype of an antimorph is worse when heterozygous than when in trans to a gene duplication.

Hey, can someone please tell me what it means to be "trans to a gene duplication"? I've heard of chemical cis and trans isomers but what does trans mean here? Does it mean that a hetro is worse than a homozygous normal condition? Isn't that a given considering that a homo would have only functioning alleles?Tourskin (talk) 22:23, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
