👉 Tarentine is a term used in the context of genetics, specifically in the study of genetic variation and disease. It refers to individuals who have inherited multiple copies of the same gene from their parents but each has one copy of the gene that is mutated or altered due to a mutation. In other words, a tarentine individual may inherit two copies of a single gene, which allows them to be affected by both mutations at the same time. This can lead to a higher risk for certain diseases
