If the parents are not affected and the child is affected what is the inheritance pattern?
AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE - Neither parent is affected, few of the children are affected. -AA or Aa=normal -Aa=Carrier -aa=Affected
What is A herterozygous individual who has one allele for a disease but is not affected by it?
a carrier
What does recessive allele mean?
Recessive allele disorders are just as they sound - they are disorders that are a result of a prevalent recessive allele in one's genetic makeup. A recessive allele disorder will rarely occur since it is dependent on the crossing of two heterozygous parent cells, but it can lead to interesting consequences. An example of a recessive allele disorder is hemophilia - the body's inability to clot blood - and it has affected much of the European royalty in history, such as Queen Victoria of Great Britain.
How do you recognize a pedigree for an x-linked recessive allele in human beings?
For a recessive sex-linked trait to manifest in women it would have to be in double dose (XaXa) while for men in single dose (XaY). Women carriers would have one of each but would not be affected (XAXa). Knowing this it's quite easy to spot pedigrees where this kind of inheritance occures.Heterozygote mothers (gene carrier) can have sons that are affected (50% chance);Affected mothers have only affected sons (100%);No first generation daughter of an heterozygote mother will be affected but there is a 50% chance that she is a carrier;Affected fathers with normal mothers will have zero sons that are affected but all their daughters will be carriers;
What kind of allele must an organism inherit in order for a recessive trait to show up?
Neither of the parents will be affected. There may not be any one with he disease in either of the parents families (or there might be). Since each parent is a carrier and has a 50/50 chance of passing one copy of the gene to each child 1/4 of the children will not get the gene, 1/2 will be carriers (1 copy) and 1/4 wil be affected (2 copies).
What does a completely shaded in shape mean?
if you are referring to a pedigree it would mean that the individual would be affected by the recessive disorder
How is FRDA inherited?
FRDA is an autosomal recessive condition, which means that an affected individual has two altered or nonfunctioning FRDA1 genes, one from each parent.
If an affected parent is bred with a carrier affected parent how many of 16 puppies will be affected?
by your question i think you mean that the affect which we speak of is recessive and one of the parents is double recessive and the other is just carier but not affected? in this case half of the puppies will be affected and the other half will be carrier.
If the parents are not affected and the child is affected what is the inheritance pattern?
AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE - Neither parent is affected, few of the children are affected. -AA or Aa=normal -Aa=Carrier -aa=Affected
What gene is affected by type 1 diabetes?
Chromosome 2
Why would harmful genes still get passed from generation if they were harmful to the individual?
Harmful recessive or dominant traits will remain in the population as long as the individuals are unaffected or only moderately affected allowing them to reproduce, or if recessive, they are at a low enough frequency in the population that they are rarely expressed and therefore not selected against at a significant rate.
In X-linked recessive inheritance what sex is the affected?
There are 2 X-linked recessive inheritance where Only Male or Men are the only people who inherits these kind of trait.

What is an individual affected with paraplegia referred to?

What chromosome is affected by meckel syndrome?
Meckel Syndrome (type 1)is an autosomal recessive trait carried on chromosome 17.
