Meropenem is an antibiotic. It fights bacteria in the body. Meropenem is used in the treatment of infections of the abdomen, such as appendicitis and peritonitis, bacterial meningitis (infection of the lining of the brain), and skin infections. Meropenem may also be used for purposes other than those listed here.
A gene is a section of DNA which controls part of a cell's chemistry - particularly protein production. in the same places. But there are different versions of the same gene. Different versions of the same gene are called alleles (pronounced 'al-eels'). For example, the gene for eye colour has an allele for blue eye colour and an allele for brown. For any gene, a person may have the same two alleles or two different ones. Recessive or dominant alleles
edit Homozygotes and Heterozygotes. Each organism has two alleles for every gene, one on each chromosome. If the two alleles are the same (e.g., both coding for blue eyes), they are called homozygotes. If they are different (e.g., one for blue eyes and one for brown eyes), they are heterozygotes.In the case of heterozygotes, the individual may express either one or a combination of the two traits.lleles may be dominant or recessive. A dominant allele is one that will always be expressed if present. For example, the allele for Huntingtonâs disease is dominant, so if an individual inherits an allele for Huntingtonâs from only one of the parents, they will have the disease.
