Why are sex-linked traits most commonly displayed in males?
Males have XY - therefore they only need one copy of the defective X in order to have the disorder.Females have XX - meaning they would need two copies of the defective allele in order to have the disorder. This means their father must have the disorder, and their mother must either have the disorder or be a carrier.
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.
What is Red green color blindness and hemophilia are two human genetic disorders that are caused by a what?
Color blindness is a sex-linked genetic disorder. The reason that it is more prevalent in males is because the disorder is linked the the X-chromasome. If a male inherits an X chromosome that is defective, then they will be color blind. However, a female has two X chromosomes which means she can receive a defective chromosome and only be a carrier of the mutation. If she receives two defective x chromosomes, she will be colorblind.
Does hemophilia skip a generation?
Haemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder - which means it can skip a generation, but only if it is carried in the female line.A female can be a carrier of haemophilia, but a male cannot. This is because males only have one X chromosome, so if they have a defective X they will have the disorder. If a father has haemophilia, all of his daughters will also have haemophilia.
What is the medical term meaning Condition caused by defective genes?
genetic disorderOne is cancer that is related to a mutation or the deletion of the P53 gene. There are so many genetic disorders that listing them all would be impossible.
What is genetic disorder resulting defective blood clotting?

A genetic disorder that results from a defective protein in the clotting pathway?

What is an autosomal dominant disorder that results in a defective or deficient LDL receptor known as?
An autosomal dominant disorder that results in a defective or deficient LDL receptor is known as familial hypercholesterolemia. (FH). Most patient with FH do not live beyond 30 without intervention.

What is a genetic disorder in which blood clotting proteins are defective causing excessive bleeding after minor injuries?
Hemophilia
Why are x linked recessive traits more common in males than females?
Males have XY - therefore they only need one copy of the defective X in order to have the disorder.Females have XX - meaning they would need two copies of the defective allele in order to have the disorder. This means their father must have the disorder, and their mother must either have the disorder or be a carrier.
Can you carry the defective gene but not suffer from the disease cystic fibrosis?
Yes, because it is "autosomal recessive hereditary disorder".
Which of the following experimental techniques involves treating a genetic disorder by replacing a defective gene with a functional gene?
a new gene which codes for the protein that can repair defective genes is introduced.
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited genetic disorder caused by two copies of a defective recessive gene that causes?

Is a congenital disorder the same as a gametic disorder?
No. A gametic disorder is one that results from an absent or defective gene. A congenital disorder is caused by incidents at birth such as starvation of oxygen after an umbilical cord is wrapped around the newborn's neck. This can cause defects such as Cerebral Palsy. A few examples of a gametic disorder are cystic fibrosis and hemophilia.
