If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene which if any will have the disorder?
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene, offspring will only have the disorder if both parents have the recessive gene.
What is the difference between lateral and vertical gene transfer?
Lateral gene transfer is the process of genetic transfer of (mostly) resistance genes through plasmids among bacteria while vertical gene transfer is the transfer of genetic materials that are passed down from parent organism to offspring from one generation to another.
What are some key differences between horizintal gene transfer gene transfer and vertical descent with mutation?
horizontal gene transfer refers to a transfer of DNA to another cell that is not its offspring. Vertical occurs when 2 organisms have sex with their penis and produce offspring, it receives genetic material from ancestors (parents)
When scientist transfer genes from one organism to the other it is called?
Horizontal and vertical gene transfers are the terms to account for the transfer of genes between organisms. Horizontal (HGT) or (LGT) transfer happens when non-traditional reproduction effectuates the transfer whereas vertical transfer (VGT) occurs when asexual or sexual reproduction effectuates the genetic movement from parents to offspring.
What percentage of the offspring's genetic information is the same as the genetic information of the parent?
An offspring receives half of its genetic information from its mother, and half from its father.
Can a person with a genetic disorder that has been corrected by gene transfer pass the corrected condition to his or her children?
No, because their genes will be changed.
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene which if any will have the disorder?
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene, offspring will only have the disorder if both parents have the recessive gene.
What is the probability of a genetic disorder in offspring?
The answer depends on the genes of the parents and further ancestors.
How is it corrected colour blindness?
There is no cure for color blindness. It is a disorder that is passed from mother to son in fetal development and is genetic in nature.
Is it true carriers of genetic diseases who do not have the disease themselves have recessive genes for the disorder?
Yes. They can pass it on to their offspring.
In humans the risk of passing on a genetic disorder to offspring can be assessed by?
You could make a pedigree which could identify carriers of a genetic disorder and individuals with the disorder. You could do blood tests to determine whether a person carries a gene for a particular genetic disorder. You could make a karyotype to determine whether there are any chromosomal abnormalities.
What did Mendel determine was not a good explanation for how traits were passed on from parent to offspring?
Traits are inherited through the genes of parents to their offspring. Traits can be a genetic transfer.
What can down syndrome be caused by?
Down's Syndrome is caused mainly by a mutation in the gene. It is a genetic disorder, which means it was passed on from parents to offspring.
What is the difference between lateral and vertical gene transfer?
Lateral gene transfer is the process of genetic transfer of (mostly) resistance genes through plasmids among bacteria while vertical gene transfer is the transfer of genetic materials that are passed down from parent organism to offspring from one generation to another.
Are all Genetic disorders are inherited disorders?
If it is a genetic disease/disorder that means it is a problem in the person's DNA which was created before the birth therefore it is not acquired. Although it can be inherited, it can also have no relation to the family of the offspring whatsoever.
A carrier of a genetic disorder who does not show symptoms is most likely to be to transmit it to offspring?
A carrier of a genetic disorder who does not show symptoms is most likely to be heterozygous for the trait and able to transmit it to his offspring. The term heterozygous refers to a pair of gene with one dominant trait and one recessive trait.
What is a sentence using the word genetic disorder?
i have a genetic disorder
