Is albinism heterozygous or homozygous?
genetically albinism is an autosomal recessive gene which in fact gives the child a 25% chance of inheriting the gene if both parents are carriers
If purple flower color is dominant over white flower color how can two purple flowered parents produce while flowered offspring?
It can happen when both parents are a heterozygous
Why is albinism a genetic disease?
Albinism is not a disease. People with albinism have little or no pigment in their eyes, skin, or hair. They have inherited altered genes that do not make the usual amounts of pigmment called melanin. Albinism affects people from all races. Most children with albinism are born to parents who have normal hair and eye color for their ethnic backrounds. There are different types of albinism, but all forms are associated with vision problems.
How does a person inherit albinism?
Normally both parents have to have the recessive gene for the particular trait that causes complete or partial albinism. Therefore it will appear more frequently in families with a history of albinism.
Albinism or the lack of color is a recessive trait that is present in some plants Cross two carriers for albinism If 500 plants resulted from the cross what percent of offspring would be expected?
25%
What are some diseases or disorders that are genetic?
albinism. huntington's disease. color blindness. down's syndrome.
An albino male who is heterozygous for black hair marries a woman who is heterozygous for nomal pigment What color of hair can ther children have?
Pigment types are incredibly complicated and hair color is probably second only to skin color for complexity. Eye color is really the only one that is even relatively simple. You should probably contact a medical expert for this question to determine the particular type of albinoism that the male has because that has a large effect of what can happen with their children and the probabilities of that. Some types albinism will cause the children to be somewhere between the farther and mother while others will cause complete albinism in 1/2 of the children if the mother is a carrier and others may be completely irrelevant if the mother isn't a carrier. If you get an easy answer on this question then it's going to be from someone assuming information that hasn't been provided. Since the vast majority of albinism is recessive then in all likelihood it's a 50% chance or less of the children being albino. However, they could have recessive genes for two different causes of albinism so they could also have a 100% chance of normally pigmented children. I must stress that this is not the best place to get an answer like this if it's important to you. If it's just curiosity then feel free to use the 50% estimate.
If a heterozygous male mates with an albino female what percentage of children will be albino?
Albinism is a sex-linked trait. Accordingly, the description of "heterozygous male" doesn't make sense. The sex chromosomes for males are XY, and usually genetic disorders are passed down by the X chromosome (which is the case for albinism). So in the problem, we aren't sure whether the male is XaY or XAY. It would be more helpful to know if the male was albino or not; we would then immediately know his genotype. We can, however, figure out the genotype of the female. Because albinism is recessive, we can deduce that her genotyple is XaXa. But without knowing the male's genotype or phenotype, the offspring percentages cannot be calculated.
Do all cells have color?
Most cells in nature do not have color. People with some forms of albinism have white hair because the cells lack pigment.
Is albinism common?
albinism is common.
What chromosome is Albinism located on?
Chromosome 9.
What are some demographics of albinism?
