Can a genetic disease affect anybody?
Exceptions are always there e.g hemophilia and many bleeding disorders don't affect females.
Is bipolar disorder in one parent inherited by offspring?
Yes. Children with one bipolar parent have a 30% chance of developing bipolar disorder. Even children of bipolar parents who do not develop bipolar disorder are at increased risk (compared to children who do not have a bipolar parent) for other psychopathology such as ADHD, learning disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, etc. Children with two bipolar parents are at an even greater risk of developing bipolar disorder.
Are genetic mutations always harmful to the individual?
Genetic mutations are not always harmful to the individual. A few may be beneficial.
Where are extranuclear genes found?
In either the mitochondria or chloroplast depending on the organism. Two common mitochondrial disorder in human include: Mitochondrial Myopathy and Leber's hereditary optic. Mitochondrial disorders are always inherited maternally, meaning only the mother passes on the disorders because the energy in the mitochondria of the sperm is used up when it enters the female egg.
What will always have the same genes as their ancestors?
Mitochondrial DNA will remain the same for generations and they are inherited from the mother.

What are genetics markers?
Genetic markers are areas on the chromosome which are in linkage disequilibrium with a known trait, ie they are inherited along with the trait. The markers do not have to cause the condition or trait to be observed, but they will always be inherited alongside the trait and therefore cna be described as a marker for that particular trait.

What are sickle cell anemia and hemophilia?
They are both genetic blood disorders, which are inherited from the parents.Sickle cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the gene responsible for hemoglobin. If a person has inherited the mutation, their bone marrow will produce sticky, sickle-shaped red blood cells, which cause a wide array of issues.Hemophilia is another blood disorder that is inherited from the parents, but in a different and more complicated way. Hemophiliacs (people suffering from hemophilia) have a problem with blood clotting. They will always bruise easily, and when they bleed, the blood might not clot unless certain actions are taken.Both diseases affect the blood, and are life long. There are currently no effective cures for them.

What genetic change is always a result of evolution?
Evolution is not a cause of genetic change: it is the effect of genetic change.

Is reproductive isolation always genetic?

What precautions need to be taken when doing genetic testing?
Because genetic testing is not always accurate and because there are many concerns surrounding insurance and employment discrimination for the individual receiving a genetic test, genetic counseling should always be.
How much will stock be worth that was inherited Will it be the value of stock now or the value at the time it was inherited?

Are inherited characteristics always passed on to children?
genes, traits
