Common mistake
Allele‑Disease Link Misconception
Students often think any allele, whether dominant or recessive, automatically causes a disorder, ignoring that many alleles are normal variations and only specific pathogenic alleles lead to disease.
Clarify that inherited disorders arise from particular pathogenic alleles that disrupt normal function; explain that most alleles are benign and that a disorder occurs only when the allele’s effect is harmful to the organism.
