Can you carry the defective gene but not suffer from the disease cystic fibrosis?
Yes, because it is "autosomal recessive hereditary disorder".
A person who has inherited the autosomal recessive disorder called?
A person who has inherited an autosomal recessive disorder will have two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent. This results in the individual expressing the disorder. Symptoms can vary depending on the specific disorder.
How disorder is inherited cystic fibrosis?
Cystic Fibrosis, is a recessive disease (meaning that both parents must be carriers of the cystic fibrosis gene, for the offspring to have a chance of being born with it). A child has a 25% chance (1/4) of being born with Cystic Fibrosis.
Why can Cystic fibrosis be inherited even if neither parent has the disease?
Cystic Fibrosis is an example of a disease inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. Both parents of a baby who has Cystic Fibrosis have one abnormal recessive gene and one normal dominant gene and are therefore, Cystic Fibrosis carriers. Carriers are said to be heterozygous because they contain one normal copy of the gene and one abnormal copy. A baby who inherits cystic fibrosis has inherited the abnormal gene from both parents and is therefore said to be homozygous recessive.
Is cystic fibrosis a dominant or co-dominant disorder?
It is autosomal recessive and it is not a disorder! Cystic Fibrosis is a disease.
What are recessive genetic disorder?
When a genetic disorder is recessive, that means that two copies of the gene are necessary to have the trait or disorder. One is inherited from the mother, and one from the father. Disorders of this type include: cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Tay-Sachs disease.
Is cystic fibrosis dominant or recessive?
Cystic Fibrosis is recessive. If you have one CF gene and one non-CF gene, you will be a carrier but not have CF.
What are recessive disorders?
When a genetic disorder is recessive, that means that two copies of the gene are necessary to have the trait or disorder. One is inherited from the mother, and one from the father. Disorders of this type include: cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Tay-Sachs disease.
Is cystic fibrosis controlled by a dominant allele or by a recessive allele?
Cystic fibrosis is controlled by a recessive allele. This means that an individual must inherit two copies of the defective gene (one from each parent) to develop the condition. If only one copy is inherited, the individual is a carrier but does not have cystic fibrosis.
Is cystics fibrosis is caused by a mutation that is the dominant alle of a gene?
No, cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder.
What is one genetic disorder that is inherited as a recessive trait?
An example of a homozygous recessive genetic disorder is the eye color. the dominant eye color is brown but a homozygous recessive genetic disorder it's haze;, blue, gray, etc.
What is an inherited eventually fatal disease of the exocrine cells that is carried by a recessive gene?
cystic fibrosis
