Is cleft lip due to a lack if chromosomes or extra chromosomes?
Cleft lip is typically not caused by a lack or extra chromosomes. It is often a result of a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as maternal smoking or certain medications during pregnancy. It is a congenital condition where the lip does not form properly during fetal development.
Colorblindness is more common in males than in females because?
it is a genetic trait carried on the X chromosome. Males have only one X chromosome, while females have two. If a male inherits the colorblindness gene on his one X chromosome, he will have the condition. However, females would need to inherit the gene on both X chromosomes to be colorblind.
Why is colorblindness or hemophilla more common in males than females?
Men Have XY chromosomes. women have XX chromosomes. To get Hemophilia, all of your X chromosomes have to be affected. as you can see, it is much easier for a man to get it than a woman.
Is colorblindness sex- linked?
Color blindness is sex linked.
What percent of men and women display colorblindness and what is the cause?
AnswerThe percentage of men who exhibit some sort of colorblindness is between 5% and 8%, and only about .4% of females. Usually, It is caused by a genetic mutiation in which the chromosomes are missing the genetic code for some of the cones in your optic nerve. Each cone has a different pigment sensitive to different kinds of light. In those that exhibit colorblindness the peak color wavelength is lower than someone with normal vision. The most common cause of colorblindness is from genetic inheritance, but it can also be caused by a disease involving the retina or the optic nerve, or due to damage to a part of the visual cortex in the brain. Some drugs have been known to cause colorblindness as well, such as hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil), a drug used to treak patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Until now there is no cure for colorblindness.
Red-green colorblindness and hemophilia are two human genetic disorders that are caused by?
X-Linked Inheritance
What happen lack of chromosomes?
If there is a lack of chromosomes, then the full genetic structure of a human being cannot be reproduced because a human is made up of forty-three chromosomes (twenty-three from each parent) and if one is missing, there will only be forty-five, which will not reproduce a human being.
Is huntingtons disease due to lack of chromosomes?
No, the Huntington's disease is inherited from either the mother or father. It's genes not a lack of chromosomes.
What colorblindness is more common in males than in females because it is carried on the X chromosome?
Red-green colorblindness is more common in males than in females because it is an X-linked recessive trait. Males have one X and one Y chromosome, so if they inherit the affected X chromosome, they will express colorblindness. In contrast, females have two X chromosomes, so they would need to inherit the affected gene on both X chromosomes to exhibit the condition, making it less common in females.
Is their a cure for colorblindness?
Colorblindness is usually a genetic trait. There is no more a cure for genetic colorblindness than there is for blond hair.
Why can't boys be carriers of colorblindness?
With sex linked traits (the allele is found on the X chromosome) males are either affected or not (they have the defective allele or they don't). Women have two copies of the allele and can be a carrier.
Does race affect colorblindness?
No you must not choose any diverse colorblindness
