If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene, offspring will only have the disorder if both parents have the recessive gene.

Is cystic fibrosis carried on a dominant of recessive gene?

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease.


How is a carrier different from a person who has genetic disorder?

A carrier means that you have the gene for the disorder, but because the gene is recessive (meaning that it only shows when you have two recessive genes) and you obviously have a dominant gene as well, you won't show the disorder. Someone who actually has the disorder has two recessive genes. D = dominant gene r = recessive gene Dr = carrier, no signs rD = carrier, no signs DD = not a carrier, no signs rr = has the disorder


What are recessive genetic disorder?

When a genetic disorder is recessive, that means that two copies of the gene are necessary to have the trait or disorder. One is inherited from the mother, and one from the father. Disorders of this type include: cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Tay-Sachs disease.


Can a person be a carrier for a dominant genetic disorder?

Anyone can be a carrier of a recessive genetic disorder (as long as it is not associated with the sex chromosomes) no matter what their gender since "carrier" refers to an individual that is heterozygous for the recessive allele and therefore phenotypically normal. Specifically, sexlinked genetic disorders can be "carried" by a heterozygous female but males (having only one X chromosome) cannot. Males will either be free of the defective gene or be affected.

What is a Co-dominant alleles disorder?

One example is Huntington's Disease. With a recessive genetic disorder, to develop the disorder, you must inherit the gene from BOTH parents (odds, 1 in 4). With a dominant gene disorder, if you inherit the gene from ONE parent, you will develop that disorder (odds- 1 in 2).


Genetic disorders are caused by?

Genetic Disorders are caused By a change in a person's DNA. Recessive alleles is the most human genetic disorder.


Which type of genetic disorder is Tay-sachs?

It is a recessive defect of a gene on chromosome 15. If both parents carry it and the child gets both copies, he will get this degenerative nerve disorder.


Why would a person who receives genetic therapy for a disorder still be able to pass on the disorder to his or her children?

No, because this genetic disorder occurs because the parents are heterozygous, they don't show any symptoms. However, if each pqarent passes the recessive allele to the child, the child inherits both recessive alleles and will have a recssive genetic disorder, so it doesnt matter if you have a gene transfer because, the new gene is not yours, so you children may have it. xoxo


Do parents suffer from a recessive disorder passed to their children?

Parents who carry a recessive disorder gene have a 25% chance of passing the disorder to their children. They may not necessarily suffer from the disorder themselves, as carriers typically do not show symptoms. However, they can still transmit the gene to their offspring, who may then inherit the disorder.
