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).
Autosomal dominant. One mutated copy of the gene in each cell is sufficient for a person to be affected by an autosomal dominant disorder. Each affected person usually has one affected parent (illustration). Autosomal dominant disorders tend to occur in every generation of an affected family.Huntington disease, neurofibromatosis type 1.Autosomal recessive. Two mutated copies of the gene are present in each cell when a person has an autosomal recessive disorder.-linked dominant disorders are caused by mutations in genes on the X chromosome. Females are more frequently affected than males, and the chance of passing on an X-linked dominant disorder differs between men (illustration) and women (illustration).
