Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In overdominance, the heterozygous genotype is more advantageous than either homozygous genotype. This is because the dominant allele in the heterozygous genotype is able to produce more of a beneficial gene product than either homozygous genotype. This results in a higher fitness for the heterozygote, leading to non-Mendelian inheritance patterns.
