Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disorder. It can result from two carriers having a child together.
recessive
Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disease. Carriers have sickle cell trait, which confers resistance to malaria.
Heterozygous induviduals pass the dominant and recessive alleles to offspring
Heterozygous individuals pass the dominant and recessive alleles to offspring.
Heterozygous individuals pass the dominant and recessive alleles to offspring.
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)
Alleles can be dominant or recessive
Yes, if the sickle cell trait were a dominant trait, it could still be a form of balanced polymorphism. In a dominant scenario, individuals with one copy of the allele would express the trait. In this case, heterozygous individuals would have the sickle cell trait, potentially providing a selective advantage against malaria, similar to how carriers of the recessive trait do in the current situation.
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 malignant melanoma dominant or recessive
Dominant traits are the traits that mask the recessive traits. The dominant traits are stronger than recessive!
