Recessive disorder that results from the absence of an enzyme that converts one amino acid into another one?
Huntington's disease
Is CF X-linked or incomplete dominance?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder, not an X-linked disorder. It means that both copies of the gene responsible for CF need to be mutated in order to develop the disorder. Incomplete dominance refers to a genetic trait where the heterozygous condition results in an intermediate phenotype, which is not the case for CF.
Is Tay-Sach Disease sex-linked dominate or recessive?
Tay-Sachs disease is caused by a genetic mutation in the HEXA gene on (human) chromosome 15. It is is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder and not sex-linked.Two Tay-Sachs alleles are required for an individual to exhibit symptoms of the disease.It causes a progressive deterioration of nerve cells and of mental and physical abilities that begins around six months of age and usually results in death by the age of four.
What results from a recessive gene that prevents the making of pigments?
albinism
What genetic disorder results in abnormally shaped blood?
Spherocytosis

Genetic disorders are caused by?
Genetic Disorders are caused By a change in a person's DNA. Recessive alleles is the most human genetic disorder.
Is progeria a dominant or recessive gene?
Progeria is caused by a dominant mutation in the LMNA gene. It is a rare genetic disorder that results in accelerated aging in children.
What is the difference between genetic a disorder and a genetic mutation?
Mutation is any change in the genetic code of an individual regardless of how the change manifests. A genetic disorder is the result of an unfavorable mutation that results through through heterozygous recessive parents producing a homozygous recessive offspring, a random dominant mutation, or multiple polygenic mutations that compound for a negative effect on an individual as examples.
Is Tay-Sach Disease sex-linked dominate or recessive?
Tay-Sachs disease is caused by a genetic mutation in the HEXA gene on (human) chromosome 15. It is is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder and not sex-linked.Two Tay-Sachs alleles are required for an individual to exhibit symptoms of the disease.It causes a progressive deterioration of nerve cells and of mental and physical abilities that begins around six months of age and usually results in death by the age of four.

albinism
What are humoral immunity disorders?
The defect results in a decrease or absence of B lymphocytes, and therefore a decreased ability to make antibodies. People with this disorder are particularly susceptible to infections of the throat, skin, middle ear.
What is the difference between a genetic disorder and a genetic mutation?
A genetic disorder is something an individual is born with, and results from a problem within their genetic material. This means they have inherited the disease or disorder from their Mother or Father. You cannot inherit an infectious disease, you acquire it during your lifetime from a germ, such as a virus or a bacterium. You can also recover from an infectious disease, whereas you will always suffer from a genetic disorder if you inherit one.
Which disease is an inherited condition characterized by the absence of a single lysosomal enzyme called Hex A?
Tay–Sachs disease is caused by a genetic mutation in the HEXA gene on (human) chromosome 15. It is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder. And not sex-linked.it causes a progressive deterioration of nerve cells and of mental and physical abilities that begins around six months of age and usually results in death by the age of four. Two Tay–Sachs alleles are required for an individual to exhibit symptoms of the disease. This means that both parents must be carriers.
Is hemophilia a disorder?
The clinical answer would be yes, however there are many exceptions to the rule in the case of hemophilia. The trait for hemophilia is carried on the X chromosome and is often recessive. This being the case, since females have 2 X chromosomes, there is typically a dominant gene on their other X that corrects the disorder if one X carries the trait for hemophilia. Males, having only one X chromosome (paired with a Y chromosome) an only express the traits on the one X that they have. This being the case, a male with the trait for hemophilia on his X chromosome must be affected by it. In more recent years it has become understood that the trait for hemophilia is not as recessive as once thought. In many females the trait has shown incomplete or shared dominance with the otherwise normal gene. This often results in the female having low clotting factor levels and actually being considered a mild or moderate hemophiliac.
Is adrenoleukodystrophy dominant or recessive?
This disease results from a mutation on the x-chromosome. It's recessive considering that a dominant will only cover up things that have occur, for example the damage that has occured, with something else. A recessive will continue to give latent traits. The allele in Adrenoleukodystrophy can only be caused by heredity mutation thus making it recessive.
