You can be a carrier of a recessive gene as part of your?
You can be a carrier of a recessive gene as part of your genotype.
What is a genetic carrier?
A carrier is a person who carries a gene(most-likely for a genetic disorder) but do not have the trait controlled by the gene.
What is X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy causes by?
X-linked ALD is caused by defects in the ABCD1 gene, also known as the ALDP (ALD protein) gene
Is a person who is homozygous recessive for a recessive genetic disese a carrier?
As long as a persons genotype consists of at least one recessive gene, they can pass it on to offspring to give them the disease, which makes them a carrier. Since this persons genes are both recessive, it is definite that they will pass on the recessive gene.
What is allele inherited on sex chromosomes?
Sex-linked gene
You can be a carrier of a recessive gene as part of your?
You can be a carrier of a recessive gene as part of your genotype.
Similarities between gene and chromosomal mutation?
The answers is simple read it in a book
What is a X linked carrier homozygous?
An X linked carrier is one who carries a mutation in a gene found on the X sex chromosome. A carrier of the trait doesn't display phenotypic symptoms of the disease or mutation but can transfer the mutation in that gene to their offspring (ex: the carrier of a premutation that when transferred to the offspring via the X chromosome will cause the full mutation associated with that gene). A person could be a homozygous carrier if for instance, she were female (two X chromosomes) and carried the premutation associated with the disease. Some diseases need both alleles of the gene to be mutated. If only one allele is mutated (heterozygote) that person may be a carrier for that mutation and can thus pass on that mutation to their children.
A trait which is inherited on sex chromosomes is?
Sex-linked traits have alleles that are passed from parent to child on a sex chromosome.
What health problems would i have if i carried the cystic fibrosis gene?
A carrier is someone who has a gene, but does not express that gene. It's like someone holding a book but is not capable of reading it. The carrier has no symptoms of the disease. The carrier can have a child with cystic fibrosis if the other parent is also a carrier of that gene.
What part of speech is sex-linked gene?
Sex-linked is an adjective describing the noun gene.
Could males be a carrier of a specific gene and not show traits?
Yes. It is possible for a male to carry a gene and not show it. However, it would have to be a recessive gene, therefore the trait would not show physically. Though, if it is a sex-linked gene, they would either show the trait or not. They cannot be carriers and not show it.
What is a genetic carrier?
A carrier is a person who carries a gene(most-likely for a genetic disorder) but do not have the trait controlled by the gene.
Is having an autosomal sex-linked gene possible?
No, a gene is either autosomal or sex-linked, but never both.
Is the gene for blood clotting an X-linked gene?
YES
What is the hairy gene from the y-linked gene?
hair in the ears
What is a carrier and how does it affects heredity?
A carrier is somebody has has a specific gene trait but does NOT express it.
