How is albinism inherited and passed down through generations?
Albinism is a genetic condition that is inherited when both parents carry a specific gene mutation. This mutation is passed down through generations in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning that both parents must pass on the mutated gene for a child to have albinism.
What is a Characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring through its gene?
trait
A character that an organism can pass on to its offspring through its gene is called?
trait
What term is used to describe organisms that has the same form of a trait over my new generations?
The term used to describe organisms that consistently exhibit the same form of a trait over many generations is "homozygous." This refers to individuals that have two identical alleles for a specific gene, resulting in uniform expression of that trait. When such organisms reproduce, they tend to pass on the same trait to their offspring, maintaining its consistency through generations.
What valuable things in life can be pass to future generations?
thats wat im wondering myself. would like to start gathering bits and pieces together to pass down through generations but dont know were to start.
What is the word for the process by which organisms acquire and pass on novel traits through generations?
Biological evolution
What are inherited genetic diseases?
They are simply diseases which pass on to generations through genes of their parents ...Eg. Cancer
What is the Mode of inheritance hemophilia?
Transmitted by a dominant gene. If that gene is inherited from either parent, the offspring will develop HD. If the gene is NOT inherited, then the offspring will not have HD- AND cannot pass the gene to their offspring.
Can someone who once had Diphtheria pass it on to their unborn child and if so what symptoms might the child develop?
No, a person who has had diphtheria cannot pass the infection to their unborn child. Diphtheria is caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae, and once a person recovers, they develop immunity to the infection. However, if a pregnant woman contracts diphtheria during pregnancy, there is a risk of complications for the fetus, but transmission of the infection itself is not possible. Symptoms in the child could include respiratory issues if the mother is infected, but generally, the child will not develop diphtheria if the mother is immune.
If a gene is inserted into the DNA of a bacterial cell every cell produced by that cell will have?
the gene, as bacteria replicate through binary fission and pass on their genetic material to all daughter cells.
How is health a biological issue?
Because some diseases can cause genetic and hereditary mutations, meaning it can pass through generations.
Why can't evolution cannot occur at the individuals level but must occur at the population level?
Evolution is a population-level process because it involves changes in the gene frequencies of a population over generations. Individual organisms do not evolve, as they do not pass on acquired traits to their offspring. Evolution occurs through mechanisms such as natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow that act on the variation within a population.
