Is hemophilia a dominantrecessiv or a sex linked trait?
Sexlinked and recessive.
Is sickle cell anemia a sexlinked trait?
Nope! The disease is equally in both males and females. This means that it is autosomal.
Is color blindness a dominant or a recessive trait?
Color blindness is a recessive sex linked trait.
What are sexlinked genes?
Genes that are location on the sex chromosomes.
Can males be carriers of sexlinked traits?
No. Carriers are people that carry the gene for something but exhibit no phenotype for it. Since males have no extra copy to hide a recessive trait, they cannot be carriers for sex linked traits.Answ2. Followers of this question should consult say haemophilia in wikipedia.com.
Is it true that sexlinked recessive disorders are most often passed from mothers to sons?
true
Does sickle cell disease require two allele or multiple alleles?
Sickle cell disease is an autosomal reccessive sexlinked trait so, a female msut have 2 recessive alleles to have the trait and a male needs only one allele (this is because there is no corresponding site for this allele on the Y chromosome. The female can be a carrier of the disorder with the defective allele on one X chromosome and a normal allele on the other X chromosome. Female carrriers can have a mixture of normal and abnormal redblood cells.
A trait that is hidden?
The trait that is hidden is recessive trait.
What causes a branch in a cladogram?
A new trait a derived trait
Can a person be a carrier for a dominant genetic disorder?
Anyone can be a carrier of a recessive genetic disorder (as long as it is not associated with the sex chromosomes) no matter what their gender since "carrier" refers to an individual that is heterozygous for the recessive allele and therefore phenotypically normal. Specifically, sexlinked genetic disorders can be "carried" by a heterozygous female but males (having only one X chromosome) cannot. Males will either be free of the defective gene or be affected.
What trait masksthe othor form of a trait?
The dominant trait masks the recessive trait.
What is a trait that masks a trait called?
A trait that masks another trait is called a dominant trait. This means that when an organism carries both dominant and recessive alleles for a particular gene, only the dominant trait will be expressed in the phenotype.
