Down syndrome is neither caused by dominant or recessive chromosomes it is simply caused by an error in the translation process of chromosome 21.
What else can I help you with?
Is Down syndrome a dominant or recessive?
Down syndrome is neither dominant nor recessive. Actually, it is considered to be an "autosomal" trait. This occurs when there is damage to the chromosome.
Is the extra copy of Chromosome 21 that causes Down syndrome dominant or recessive?
Down syndrome is neither caused by dominant or recessive chromosomes it is simply caused by an error in the translation process of chromosome 21.
Is apert syndrome dominant or recessive?
Apert syndrome is typically caused by a sporadic mutation in the FGFR2 gene and is not inherited in a simple dominant or recessive manner. It is considered an autosomal dominant condition, with most cases arising from new mutations.
Is down syndrome a dominant trait or recessive trait?
Down syndrome is neither dominant nor recessive.It is "autosomal" or "other"; it is simply an error in the translation process of Chromosome 21 (three copies instead of two). Instead of 46 chromosomes, a person with Down syndrome will have 47.
Iis down syndom caused by a dominant or recessive allele?
Down syndrome is caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21, known as trisomy 21. It is not caused by a single gene with a dominant or recessive inheritance pattern. It is a chromosomal disorder that can occur randomly during cell division.
Is it possible for 2 parents with down syndrome to produce a child with no non-disjunction disorder please explain why?
Since Down Syndrome is not genetic and is a trisomy, dominant and recessive genes do not play a role and it is possible for two down syndrome parents to have a child without down syndrome.
Is Williams syndrome dominant or recessive?
it is rarely inherited, and is often spontaneous. but when inherited, it is considered autosomal dominant condition and is usually passed down from someone with the condition to all of their offspring
Is down syndroe a dominant trait or ressive trait?
It is caused by the addition of the 21st chromosome, it is not inherited and so is neither dominant or recessive but it is highly correlated with the age of mothers. If the mother is 30, it is 1 in 910 chance of down syndrome, and 1 in 28 at age 45.
Which chromosome Klinefleter's Syndrome affect?
Klinefelter Syndrome is neither recessive or dominant. It is a chormosome disorder, and is thus not passed down from generation to generation. The disorder is a random even that occurs.
If there is Down syndrome on your husband's side are you likely to have a special needs baby?
You're husband may not necessarily have the down syndrome allele. Also the only way you would have a special needs baby is if you also have the recessive (down syndrome) allele. Here are the chances: If neither of you have the recessive (down syndrome) allele - 0% If one of you have the recessive allele - 0% If you both have the recessive allele - 25% The chances are pretty low but it is not definite that you wont have a special needs baby.
Is Down syndrome found on a dominant allele?
Yes.
What if the alleles are niether dominant nor recessive?
you can still hunt them down n kill them!
