A: Individual Social Security retirement benefits are not reduced because you are married. Your friend told a common SSA myth based on misunderstanding of a different topic. I will try to explain both today. A popular variation of this question is to ask if there is a SSA marriage penalty. However phrased, the answer is no, Social Security does not have a marriage penalty. Individual Social Security retirement benefits to you and your husband are not reduced because you are married.
Dominant: A genetic trait is considered dominant if it is expressed in a person who has only one copy of that gene.(In genetic terms, a dominant trait is one that is phenotypically expressed in heterozygotes).A dominant trait is opposed to a recessive trait which is expressed only when two copies of the gene are present. (In genetic terms, a recessive trait is one that is phenotypically expressed only in homozygotes).Examples of dominant disorders include: 1  Achondroplasia (a common form of dwarfism with short arms and legs),In genetic terms, a dominant trait is one that is phenotypically expressed in heterozygotes). A dominant trait is opposed to a recessive trait which is expressed only when two copies of the gene are present. (In genetic terms, a recessive trait is one that is phenotypically expressed only in homozygotes).
In the case of autosomal dominant genes, a single abnormal gene on one of the autosomal chromosomes (one of the first 22 ânon-sexâ chromosomes) from either parent can cause the disease.One of the parents will have the disease (since it is dominant) in this mode of inheritance and that person is called the CARRIER.utosomal dominant is one of several ways that a trait or disorder can be passed down through families. If a disease is autosomal dominant, it means you only need to get the abnormal gene from one parent in order for you to inherit the disease.
