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).
Inheritance of a specific disease, condition, or trait depends on the type of chromosome affected (autosomal or sex chromosome) whether the trait is is dominant or recessive. A single, abnormal gene on one of the first 22 non-sex chromosomes from either parent can cause autosomal disorder.Dominant inheritance means an abnormal gene from one parent is capable of causing disease even though the matching gene from the other parent is normal.The abnormal gene dominates the pair of genes. single, abnormal gene on one of the first 22 non-sex chromosomes from either parent can cause autosomal disorder. Dominant inheritance means an abnormal gene from one parent is capable of causing disease even though the matching gene from the other parent is normal. The abnormal gene dominates the pair of genes.
