Genetic disorders can be caused by a mutation in one gene (monogenic disorder), by mutations in multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance disorder), by a combination of gene mutations and environmental factors, or by damage to chromosomes (changes in the number or structure of entire chromosomes.

What are some abnormalities in human when meiosis goes wrong?
Genetic disorders or cancer could occur
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.
What may rare genetic disorders become common in small populations through?
This can occur through reproduction. If you have two people with the recessive gene for a rare genetic disorder, they have a 25% chance of having offspring with this disorder. The probability increases as the genetic pool increases.
Why do humans not have the same genetic information as someone else?
the genetic coding of humans is different. thats why chimpanzee is different from humans. as simple as that.
When is genetic drift likely to occur?
genetic drift may occur when a small group of individuals colonizes a new habitat
What are the causes of genetic human disorders?
The causes of genetic disorders areThey can be inherited through Parents;Mutations may occur;A deletion may occur.These are the causes of a genetic disorder.
What are some abnormalities in human when meiosis goes wrong?
Genetic disorders or cancer could occur
How many deaths occur from left handedness?
None occur directly from left-handedness, though it is known to be linked to other genetic disorders.
What would occur if humans reproduced by parthenogenesis?
Humans are produced via sexual reproduction. That gives genetic diversity. You do not get such genetic diversity in case of the parthenogenesis. It is poor mode of reproduction.
What has the author Jack H Jung written?
Jack H. Jung has written: 'Genetic syndromes in communication disorders' -- subject(s): Genetic disorders, Genetics, Genetic aspects, Communicative disorders, Inborn Genetic Diseases, Communication Disorders
Name two genetic disorders?
Two genetic disorders are Turner's syndrome and cystic fibrosis.
Is it ok to breed hamsters to their young?
It is best to avoid doing that. Genetic disorders may occur just like they would with a human.
What is the importance of gene cloning?
Genetic cloning allows us to study genetic disorders in a lab environment. we can perform experiments on these cloned cells without having to endanger the patient themselves. these clones aren't humans, you can't even see them without a microscope most of the time. By performing these experiments we learn about the different processes that occur within the cell. and the more we learn about these processes the more we can do to prevent disorders that occur due to malfunctions in these processes.
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.
What is the difference between muscular disorders and skeletal disorders?
Muscular disorders occur in the muscles while skeletal disorders occur in the bones.
Are there genetic tests for genetic disorders?
There are many but in cases there are none.
Why can females but not males be carriers of sex linked genetic disorders?
Several genetic disorders are caused by genes on the X chromosomes.
