Will your child with albinism have a child with albinism?
It is hard to know what genes will be passed on through the generations. There are several different possibilities. 1. If you have Albinism but your child does not signs of it then your child most likely carrys the gene but it is masked or not shown. This means he/she could pass it on to their children. 2. If your child has Albinism then your child has a strong chance of passing it on to their children . It is possible though for your child to pass on the gene. Their children could have Albinism or it could be masked such as in situation 1. 3. Your parents have Albinism but your nor your child show signs of it . It is entirely possible that you and your child carry the disease. To be sure if you have Albinism genetic testing is required.
What is the probability that a parent carrying a dominant trait will pass that trait on to each child?
The probability that a parent carrying a dominant trait will pass that trait on is a 50% chance with each pregnancy
What is the genotype of a carrier of recessive disorder?
A carrier is someone who does not have a disorder but carries the allele on to offspring.
What eye colors beat what eye colors?
Eye colors depend fully on your genetic history. Lets say your parents both have brown eyes, because brown is a dominant color it is most possible that you will get this color, although if one of your ancestors had blue eyes and it is possible that they will pass down this trait to you.
How do beneficial become more common in an organism over time?
Because as organism's reproduce they pass on that trait then their offspring will pass on the trait and so on
What is the pattern of sex linked inheritance?
In humans sex linked traits are passed on the X chromosome. (For the purpose of this discussion the trait being passed is recessive.) This means that a male parent cannot pass the characteristic on to his male offspring, but he can pass the trait on to his female offspring. The female parent can pass the trait on to any of her offspring. Both parents must carry the allele for the sex-linked trait (and pass it on) in order for a female child to have the characteristic. Male children that get the trait from their mother will have the trait no matter what the genetics of the father. If the female parent is heterozygous for the trait 50% of her male children will have the characteristic no matter the father's genetics for that trait. Assuming that the characteristic is not lethal and both parents are "carriers" (keep in mind that the father displays the trait and a heterozygous mother will not)... 50% of the sons will have the trait, 50% of the sons will not have the trait, 50% of the daughters will be homozygous for the trait and 50% will by heterozygous "carriers".
What type of alleles does a carrier have?
A carrier is heterozygous for a given trait. They would display the dominant trait but still be able to pass the recessive trait to their children.
What do organisims pass on their offspring?
Organisms pass down their DNA, their genetic code, down to their offspring during reproduction. This is what defines the offspring make up and determines what genetic conditions will be passed on to them.
Is the adaptation of this ptarmigan is it genetic micirycamouflage?
a ptarmigan is genetic because it has feather on feet tell why because genetic means the study how a organism pass down as trait.
Why term is used to describe organisms that pass the same form of a trait over many generations?
True breeding is used to describe organisms that pass the same form of a trait over many generations. True breeding is the term is used to describe organisms that pass the same form of a trait over many generations.
