Is alkaptonuria caused by a recessive or dominant allele?
Phenylketonuria is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. The enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase is necessary to metabolize phenylalanie, but when this enzyme doesnt work, phenylaline accumulates and is detected in the urine. The disease is detected during pregnancy, and if treated right away the newborn can develop normally. However, if left untreated, the brain will not develop properly.
How common is morquio syndrome?
Morquio's Syndrome is a rare, usually inherited disease. The chances of getting this autosomal recessive birth defect is 1 in 200,000.
Can sickle cell trait skip a generation?
yes it can skip a generation, since it is a Mendel inheritance. and it is a reccesive trait. therefore offspring's can have two unaffected parents but chances are both parents might be carriers
What are the chances a child will be born with a hereditary disorder or disease?
Depends on the disease- dominant gene or recessive gene- and the genotypes of the parents.
Can Someone with a Mild Form of Albinism enlist in the Army?
Yes albinism should not effect your chances on getting into the army.
What are the chances of albinism in monozygotic twins?
same as rest of population
What are the chances of a person with albinism passing the disease to their offspring?
highly unlikely
What are the chances of a normal person and a carrier for cystic fibrosis have a kid with cystic fibrosis?
Zero. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease. This means that both parents must carry a mutated gene and have a 1 in 4 (25%) chance of having a child with CF.
What are the chances of having an albino child if the mother is white and the father is black?
Both parents must be carriers of the recessive "albinism" gene. For people who do not have albinism, there is only a 1 in 100 chance that they are carriers of the recessive gene. If both parents are normally pigmented, that is, neither one of them has albinism, but they both happen to be carriers of the recessive "albinism" gene. Then there is a 1 in 4 chance they will have a child with albinism each time they concieve. One person in 17,000 in the U.S.A. has some type of albinism.
How can a parent learn the risks of having a child with a genetic disorder?
A parent can learn the risks of having a child with a genetic disorder by looking at their own history. A genetic disorder is... da da da da! Genetic! so the traits of this disorder would be passed down through the generations. If both parents have family members with the trait or if the disorder is a dominant trait then there is a high chance of the disorder being passed down to the child. If the trait is recessive and only one parent has the genetic disorder in their family history then there are some pretty low chances of it being passed along to the child. Even if the trait is recessive, if both parents have the diorder in their history then there is about a 50% chance of the child having the disorder.
What are the risks of inbreeding plants?
You increase the chances of getting a recessive trait.
If you are diagnosed with schizo-effective disorder can your future children inherit the disorder?
The allele for schizo-effective disorder is recessive, meaning that a person must inherit two genes (one from mom, one from dad), to actually have the disorder.It also means that if you or your partner has the disorder,If one of your families has no history of the disorder, chances are good thatLet's say schizo-effective disorder is represented with S or s.(lowercase symbolizes recessive, and capital is dominant)If you are diagnosed with Schizo-effective disorder, your genotype is ss.This is also called homozygous recessive.Let's say your spouse has no family history for at least 4 or 5 generations of this disorder. It is safe to assume, then, that he/she is homozygous dominant, or SS.The only allele you can pass on to your children is the recessive allele, since you have no dominant variation, and you must pass on one allele per gene to your children. This means that no matter what, your children carry the gene for schizo-effective disorder.The only allele your partner/spouse can pass on is the dominant allele, since we have made the assumption that both of her/his inherited alleles are 'normal' (negative for schizo-effective disorder).The dominant allele cancels out the effects of the recessive allele, so none of your children can actually have the disorder, but your grandchildren might, unless your children find another homozygous dominant partner.Note: Simply because a person does not have schizo-effective disorder does not mean that they are homozygous dominant. They may also be heterozygous, (Ss) like your children. this gives a 1/4 chance that your grandchildren will have the disorder. (this is also known as a monohybrid cross).
