Is sickle cell anemia recessive or dominant?
Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disease. Carriers have sickle cell trait, which confers resistance to malaria.
Is sickle cell anemia dominant or receive?
recessive
Is a sickle is a dominant or recessive?
domaint
How is sickle cell alleles maintained through natural selection?
Heterozygous induviduals pass the dominant and recessive alleles to offspring
How is the sickle cell maintained through natural selection?
Heterozygous individuals pass the dominant and recessive alleles to offspring.
Is sickle cell disease dominant or recessive?
The disease is recessive, requiring both parents to carry the allele for the disease to be found in the offspring. If one parent has it, the offspring can also be a carrier, but it will be recessive, and the offspring will have normal RBC (red blood cells)
Is sickle cell disease a chromosomal abnormality?
sickle cell is an autosomal recessive disorder
For sickle-cell disease assume S is the dominant allele and s the recessive allele Which genotypes are possible for offspring of a carrier (Ss) and a person who lacks the sickle-cell allele (SS)?
SS,Ss
If the sickle cell trait were a dominant trait rather than a recessive one could it still be balanced polymorphism?
the polymorphism is only balanced when the dominate trait is recessive in the cell which came from the daughter cell after division, hence the dominate characteristics.
Being a carrier of sickle cell anemia means?
sickle cell anemia is caused by a recessive allele. so for it to affect someone, it means that the person must have received both recessive alleles from their parents. Being a carrier means that you have the recessive allele from one of your parents, but you have a normal dominant allele from the other parent, that means you are not affected by it but you are carrying it.
Is sickle cell anemia genetic or environmental?
Sickle cell anemia is genetic. It is an autosomal recessive disease.
How is the sickle cell allele maintained through natural selection?
Individuals with two recessive alleles have very high rates of reproduction.
