The mevalonate pathway is known to generate isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate, which are used to synthesize diverse compounds including cholesterol and steroid hormones. The levels of mevalonate in human plasma may be used as a measure of cholesterol synthesis. When the cholesterol level is low, it stimulates its endogenous production by the mevalonate pathway. Since it is well known that the vegetarian diet reduces cholesterol, this diet also increases mevalonate levels.
If two different alleles for a trait are present and one allele doesn't entirely block the expression of the other, the genetic situation is in-complete Dominance
