∙ 9y agoWhen a genetic disorder is recessive, that means that two copies of the gene are necessary to have the trait or disorder. One is inherited from the mother, and one from the father. Disorders of this type include: cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Tay-Sachs disease.

Is apert syndrome dominant or recessive?
Recessive, but dominant in some rare cases.
Describes a trait or an allele that is expressed only when two of the alleles for the saame characteristic are inherited?
I believe the answer is dominant. Please don't be rude if this isn't the correct answer.
If a trait is not inherited what else might cause it?
If there is a trait that one gets but is not inherited if could just be a recessive trait from a past generation that was skipped Or it could be that that person ect. is special
What is a trait that is expressed even if only one gene for that form of the trait is inherited?
It is a dominant trait. You only need one gene of a dominant trait for that trait to be expressed. You need two copies of the recessive trait in order for the trait to be expressed.

In most cases spherocytosis is an inherited condition. It is caused by a genetic mutation that is considered a recessive trait.

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.
Is apert syndrome dominant or recessive?
Recessive, but dominant in some rare cases.
What type of traits is inherited if an organism receives recessive alleles?
The trait received is recessive.
Can a person be a carrier for a dominant genetic disorder?
Anyone can be a carrier of a recessive genetic disorder (as long as it is not associated with the sex chromosomes) no matter what their gender since "carrier" refers to an individual that is heterozygous for the recessive allele and therefore phenotypically normal. Specifically, sexlinked genetic disorders can be "carried" by a heterozygous female but males (having only one X chromosome) cannot. Males will either be free of the defective gene or be affected.
