If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene which if any will have the disorder?
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene, offspring will only have the disorder if both parents have the recessive gene.
What is a Co-dominant alleles disorder?
One example is Huntington's Disease. With a recessive genetic disorder, to develop the disorder, you must inherit the gene from BOTH parents (odds, 1 in 4). With a dominant gene disorder, if you inherit the gene from ONE parent, you will develop that disorder (odds- 1 in 2).
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.
Why would a person who receives genetic therapy for a disorder still be able to pass on the disorder to his or her children?
No, because this genetic disorder occurs because the parents are heterozygous, they don't show any symptoms. However, if each pqarent passes the recessive allele to the child, the child inherits both recessive alleles and will have a recssive genetic disorder, so it doesnt matter if you have a gene transfer because, the new gene is not yours, so you children may have it. xoxo
Gaucher disease is caused by what genetic disorder?
Gaucher disease has a recessive pattern of inheritance, meaning that a person must inherit a copy of the defective gene from both parents in order to have the disease.
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene which if any will have the disorder?
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene, offspring will only have the disorder if both parents have the recessive gene.

Which type of genetic disorder is Tay-sachs?
It is a recessive defect of a gene on chromosome 15. If both parents carry it and the child gets both copies, he will get this degenerative nerve disorder.
A dominant genetic disorder will be expressed if an individual has?
Two dominant alleles that cause the disorder.
What are the types of congenital diseases?
There are a few types of congenital diseases. The term is used for any condition that is a result of a genetic abnormality. There are ones that are sex linked and affect males more than females, and then there are the ones that affect both equally.
Why do you have clubbed thumbs?
Clubbed thumbs are a genetic disorder, so you inherit them from your mother, father or both.
What is a sex-linked disorder and give one example?
Genetic disorders that are linked to either the X or the Y chromosomes. Red-green colorblindness and hemophilia are both sex-linked disorders.
Why would a baby have a disorder if his parents do not?
There are two possible explanations. Not all disorders are genetic; for example, the baby might have an infection, might be malnourished, might be injured. Secondly, the baby actually might have a genetic disorder, because the genetics of a baby are not identical to either of the parents, being inherited from both of them. If both parents have a recessive gene, that gene might not be expressed in either parent but could still be expressed in their baby.
Are there any genetic disorders that include bright blue eyes I am referring to genetic disorders and not ethnic groups. Genetic disorder can be including other features besides bright blue eyes?
Argyria, a condition brought about by the consumption of large amounts of silver, can permanently turn both eyes and skin blue. Not exactly a genetic disorder, but interesting nonetheless.
Are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis congenital?
There is evidence linking Both oseteo and rheumatoid arthritis with genetic predisposition. In other words there seems to be a predisposition to these diseases among family members.
Genetic traits are formed by what?
Genetic traits are formed by both genes and the environment. For example, genes and environmental factors such as exposure to cigarette smoke can both influence aging.
