Answer to Question 2

Heterozygous alleles occur when the alleles in a pair of chromosomes differ from each other. In this case, the individual will have one non-Blumberg's disease allele and one allele for Blumberg's disease. A recessive allele's instructions are ignored in the presence of a dominant allele. In incomplete dominance, one allele does not dominate another completely. In incomplete dominance, the phenotype that results often falls between the phenotype associated with either allele. Individuals with two recessive alleles (one from each parent) are likely to inherit this disease. Individuals with at least one dominant allele are unlikely to develop the disease.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today.
