Plural voting is the practice whereby one person might be able to vote multiple times in an election . It is not to be confused with a plurality voting system which does not necessarily involve plural voting. Weighted voting is a generalisation of plural voting. United Kingdom In the United Kingdom , for example, it was once possible for people affiliated with a university to vote in both a university constituency and their home constituency, and property owners could vote both in the constituency where their property lay and that in which they lived, if the two were different. Some university educated property owners could even vote in three different constituencies. These practices were abolished by the Representation of the People Act 1948 . Belgium In Belgium, plural voting was introduced in 1893 and applied for elections from 1894 to 1919 as a way to limit the impact of universal suffrage .

A double plural is a plural form to which an extra suffix has been added, mainly because the original plural suffix had become improductive and therefore irregular. So the form as a whole was no longer seen as a plural this is an instance of morphological leveling . Examples of this can be seen in the history of English language English and Dutch language Dutch . Historically, the general English plural markers were not only s or en but also in certain specific declensions ra ru which is still rather general today in German language German under the form er . The ancient plural of child was cildra cildru , to which an en suffix was later added when the ra ru became unproductive the Dutch plural form kind er en and the corresponding Zeelandic form kind er s are also double plurals which were formed in the same way as the English double plurals, while for example German and Limburgian have historically conservative single plurals such as Kind er . wikt double plural See also Reduplicated plural Category Grammatical number Category Historical linguistics ling morph stub nl Stapelmeervoud ... more details

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Orphan date February 2009 A plural society is defined by Fredrik Barth as a society combining Ethnicity ethnic contrasts the Economics economic interdependence of those groups, and the Ecology ecological specialization i.e., use of different environmental resources by each ethnic group . The ecological interdependence, or the lack of competition, between ethnic groups may be based on the different activities in the same region or on long term occupation of different regions in the same nation state. In Barth s view, ethnic boundaries are most enduring and stable when groups occupy different ecological niches simply, they make their living in different ways and don t compete. When different ethnic groups exploit the same ecological niche, the Military militarily more powerful group will normally replace the weaker one. However, if the weaker group is better able to use marginal environments, the two groups could also coexist. Ethnic boundaries, distinctions, and interdependence can be maintained given niche specialization, although specific cultural features of each group may change. Defined by J S Furnivall as a medley of people s Demographics of Europe European , Nationalities of China Chinese , Demographics of India Indian and wiktionary native native , who do mix but do not combine. Each group holds by its own religion , its own culture and language , its own idea s and ways. As individuals they meet, but only in the marketplace in buy ing and sell ing.

Methodology for genetics studies of twins and families 6th ed. . Dordrecht, The Netherlands Kluwer. ref . Outside the theoretical boundary case of traits with zero heritability , the genetic correlation of traits is independent of their heritability i.e., two traits can have a very high genetic correlation even when the heritability of each is low and vice versa. The genetic correlation, then, tells us how much of the genetic influence on two traits is common to both if it is above zero, this suggests that the two traits are influenced by common genes . This can be an important constraint on conceptualizations of the two traits traits which seem different phenotypically but which share a common genetic basis require an explanation for how these genes can influence both traits.

Genetic association is the occurrence, more often than can be readily explained by chance, of two or more traits in a population of individuals, of which at least one trait is known to be genetic. Studies of genetic association aim to test whether single locus alleles or genotype frequencies or more ... subjects and healthy controls . Genetic association studies are based on the principle that genotypes can be compared directly , i.e. with the sequences of the actual genome s. What is genetic association? Genetic association can be between phenotypes, such as visible characteristics such as flower colour or height, between a phenotype and a genetic polymorphism, such as a single nucleotide polymorphism SNP , or between two genetic polymorphisms. Association between genetic polymorphisms occurs ... this is known as genetic linkage . Linkage disequilibrium LD is a term used in the study of population ... other. LD describes a situation in which some combinations of alleles or genetic markers occur more or less frequently in a population than would be expected from a random formation of haplotypes from alleles based on their frequencies. Genetic association studies are performed to determine whether a genetic variant is associated with a disease or trait if association is present, a particular ... of these patients that differ from those who do not have the disease or trait. In genetic case control studies, the frequency of alleles or genotypes is compared between the cases ... from the population. A difference in the frequency of an allele or genotype of the polymorphism under test between the two groups indicates that the genetic marker may increase risk of the disease or likelihood ... disequilibrium test TDT and haploid relative risk HRR . Both measure association of genetic markers in nuclear families by transmission from parent to offspring. If an allele increases the risk of having a disease then that allele is expected to be transmitted from parent to offspring ... more details

The regulatory utilization of genetic ...Genetic redundancy is a term typically used to describe situations where a given biochemical function is redundantly encoded by two or more gene s. In these cases, mutation s or defects in one of these genes will have a smaller effect on the fitness of the organism than expected from the genes function. Characteristic examples of genetic redundancy include Enns, Kanaoka et al. 2005 and Pearce, Senis et al. 2004 . Many more examples are thoroughly discussed in Kafri, Levy & Pilpel. 2006 . The main source of genetic redundancy is the process of gene duplication which generates multiplicity in gene copy number. A second and less frequent source of genetic redundancy are convergent evolution ary processes leading to genes that are close in function but unrelated in sequence Galperin, Walker & Koonin 1998 . Genetic redundancy has classically aroused much debate in the context of evolutionary biology Nowak et al., 1997 Kafri, Springer & Pilpel . 2009 . From an evolutionary standpoint, genes with overlapping functions implies minimal, if any, selective pressure s acting on these genes. One therefore expects that the genes participating in such buffering of mutations will be subject to severe mutational drift diverging their functions and or expression patterns with considerably high rates. Indeed it has been shown that the functional divergence of paralogous pairs in both yeast and human is an extremely rapid process. Taking these notions into account, the very existence of genetic buffering, and the functional redundancies required for it, presents a paradox in light of the evolutionary concepts. On one hand, for genetic buffering to take place there is a necessity for redundancies ..., M. Y., Walker, D. R. & Koonin, E. V. 1998 Genome Res 8, 779 90. Kafri R, Springer M, Pilpel Y.

To be genetically viable , having a realistic chance of avoiding the problems of inbreeding , a population of plants or animal s requires a certain amount of genetic diversity , and consequently a certain minimum number of members. See effective population size . The minimum is normally somewhere in the region of a hundred unrelated individuals. Where a population has become extremely small in a population bottleneck , due for example to near extinction of the species , it may have lost its genetic viability, and if numbers recover it will be through inbreeding, possibly leaving an unhealthy population. But in fact it provided a more diverse population thus limiting the amount of genetic disorder or repetition. Unreferenced date April 2009 Category Genetics genetics stub ... more details
