Summary Introduction

To explain:

How cellular and molecular events are responsible for emergent properties at individual and population level.

Introduction:

The events taking place at molecular or cellular level can lead to emergent properties at individual level or population level. The heterozygote alleles are favored rather than homozygotes at cellular level. In humans, this advantage can be seen at a locus coding for ß polypeptide (subunit of hemoglobin).
