Recessive diseases are severe and may lead to an early death. They include sickle cell anemia.Tay-Sachs disease.cystic fibrosis.phenylketonuria (PKU).
PKU is a genetic disease, caused by an inability to metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine.
12 th chromosome
PKU
It is an autosomal recessive trait.
no, you can get a mental disease but you cannot die from it exactly
PKU and T-S are generally diseases of children. In most cases, the symptoms of Huntington's appear gradually, usually starting after age 30. You can get more information on HD from the wesite for HDSA.
PKU, phenolketonuria, is a genetic disease caused by a recessive gene. So, a person with one normal and one faulty gene for this characteristic will not have the disease, you have to have two faulty genes to have the disease. If two people who each have one gene for PKU have a child, that child can inherit the gene from each parent and therefore will have two copies, causing the recessive trait to manifest.
No, it is simply put on packages and soda cans because there is a specific disease that can harm people if they ingest it. The disease is phenylketonuria, or PKU. It is a genetic disorder that keeps your body from metabolizing phenylalanine, which is an amino acid. If you have PKU and eat too much phenylalanine, it will cause mental retardation. NutraSweet has phenylalanine in it, so they don't want PKU sufferers to use it for obvious reasons. So...phenylalanine is okay for you if you don't have PKU.
PKU stands for phenylketonuria, the classic symptom of which (and the diagnostic test for the disease) is phenylalanine in the urine. This is a genetic disorder in which the body is unable to process phenylalalanine, so it is excreted in the urine.
