What is a homozygous dominant offspring are?

Offspring that posses two different forms of the same gene. These are called alleles.


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)


What if your mother doesn't have breast gene mutations in Braca1 and Braca 2 - do you still need gene testing?

MM=regular breast gene while.. mm=mutation so you mother could be Mm and be heterozygous for the gene which means she may not have the defective gene but she is still a carrier which means you and your offspring may have it hope that helps some dont know to much about it but we just did genes and chromosomes in biology class. sorry to hear about the bad news but hopefully if it is genetic your daughter and her offspring will be heterozygous.


What are the possible phenotypes of the offspring between a parent who is a heterozygous carrier for cystic fibrosis and a homozygous normal parent?

The chances are one half. You will most likley have 2 children without the gene, and 2 with one gene. Since the normal parent has the dominate allele, the Cystic Fiborisis will not be present.


What is meiosis in human?

In sexual reproduction, two parents give rise to an offspring with an unique gene combination from either of them-each parent gives 1/2 of his/ her genes to the offspring. A Gene is a discrete unit of DNA that codes one protein, perhaps one of the many enzymes needed by our bodies.SOMATIC CELL have two sets of chromosomes; one set from each parent.

Does hemochromatosis skip generation?

Hemochromatosis can skip generations because it is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. This means that an individual can carry a gene for hemochromatosis without showing symptoms, and it may not be expressed in every generation. The risk of developing the condition depends on inheriting two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent.


What does Mendel's hypothesis of inheritance state?

i dont know all about it but he says that the mother and the father both pass genes to their offspring even though they may not show for example their fathers blue eyes but they show their mothers green eyes. the blue eyes is a recessive gene they will pass to their offspring. so it may skipa generation and come back because the offspring carry that gene. no gene is lost until it has passed 2 generations without a mother or father having it of the offspring have it.


How do you got cystic fibrosis?

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disorder, 2 parents have a CF gene, if their offspring inherits that trait they will have Cystic Fibrosis.

Can 2 people with Huntington's Disease produce an offspring who does not have Huntington's disease?

Unfortunately, no. Huntington's is carried on a dominant gene. One parent HD, one non-HD, you have a 50-50 chance of not inheriting that gene. But two parents that are HD, you will inherit the gene from one parent or the other.
