Just a quick question to the bright beings on this list: what is the
opposite of antagonistic pleiotropy? AP is when a gene has a positive
function in youth and a detrimental in old age. But what do you call a
gene that does the same thing all the time, but this function is good in
youth and bad in old age? Is it also called AP? It is the pleiotropy
part that I am worried about, since the gene does not change behavior
in any way.
