Where the gene(s) is/are recessive, a person might also end up with a dominant gene that masks it while then passing it on to any of their own children, who may then be unlucky enough to receive both alleles of the recessive disease gene(s). This makes it possible for the disease to skip mutliple generations and then reappear suddenly for a long time, or to simply miss every second or third.

What are some genetic diseases that are passed down from generation to generation?
The term "genetic disease" refers to a disease that is inherited- or passed from one generation to the next.
What is the significance of genetic relationships in understanding inherited traits and diseases?
Genetic relationships are important in understanding inherited traits and diseases because they help us identify how traits are passed down from one generation to the next. By studying genetic relationships, scientists can determine the likelihood of certain traits or diseases being passed on within families. This knowledge is crucial for predicting and managing inherited conditions, as well as developing treatments and interventions for genetic diseases.
What types of diseases can be predicted with genetic tests?
Genetically inheriting diseases can be found. Other diseases are not genetic
How are hereditary diseases are passed from one generation to another?
Hereditary diseases are passed from one generation to another through genetic mutations carried in the DNA of the parent that are passed on to their offspring. These mutations can affect the functioning of specific genes, leading to the development of a hereditary disease in the offspring. This process occurs during fertilization when genetic material is combined from both parents.
Who should have access to personal genetic information and how will it be used?
As genetic testing becomes more available both in terms of quality and affordability of test, more people will choose to be tested for genetic conditions and predictive risk assessment.
What is the relationship between a pedigree chart and genotype in genetic inheritance?
A pedigree chart shows the genetic relationships within a family, while genotype refers to the specific genetic makeup of an individual. The pedigree chart can help track the inheritance of specific genotypes within a family, showing how certain traits or diseases are passed down from generation to generation.
How are Hereditary diseases treated?
Hereditary diseases are passed down from one generation to the succeeding generation through genes. A lot of research and development has been done to treat it but there is no treatment for this condition.
What information is not passed from generation to generation?
recessive traits
Does the Ashby family line have any genetic disorders or diseases?
yes, they may have the genetic diseases in their family.
Why some diseases are hereditary?
it is because there is a change in the genetic make up which get inherited to next generation or there is a change in the stomataplasm but not in germplasm
What is genetic monotony?
genetic monotony is the result of asexual reproduction which generation after generation exactly identical progeny develops
