No, a gene is either autosomal or sex-linked, but never both.
Apert syndrome is a autosomal dominant genetic disorder, meaning that only one copy of the mutated gene from either parent is necessary to inherit the condition. It is not sex-linked.
gene that is not strong
A male can inherit an autosomal recessive disorder from both of his carrier parents, who each pass down a copy of the mutated gene. This results in the male having two copies of the mutated gene, leading to the manifestation of the disorder.
autosomal recessive
Nope. Dominant
Each person has two alleles for an autosomal gene, one inherited from each parent. These two alleles together determine an individual's genotype for that gene.
Progeria is neither autosomal nor sex-linked. It is caused by a spontaneous mutation in the LMNA gene, which is located on chromosome 1.
An autosomal dominant trait is a characteristic that is determined by a dominant gene located on one of the non-sex chromosomes (autosomes). This means that only one copy of the dominant allele is needed for the trait to be expressed in an individual. Autosomal dominant traits will appear in each generation of a family with affected individuals.
Yes, albinism is typically caused by autosomal recessive gene mutations. This means that an individual needs to inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to express the albinism trait.
hey I'm not positive but I believe that Cystic Fibrosis is autosomal. My reasonning for this is that there seems to be an equal number of females that have cystic fibrosis as there are males. I AM NOT POSITIVE.
females
Osteogenesis imperfecta is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning one copy of the mutated gene is enough to cause the condition. However, in some cases, it can be inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern if both parents are carriers of the mutated gene.
