Genotype is the complete genetic makeup of an organism.Serology, however is a group of techniques that are used to test for or identify specific genetic characteristics. Those characteristics are often called serotypes.For example:A person's blood type is a part of his/her genotype, and serologic testing can identify that person's serotype: A, AB, B, or O.Perhaps you were confusing "genotype" and "serotype"?
Humans without a disorder will have 23 pairs of chromosomes. However, there are many disorders caused by different numbers of chromosomes. For example, Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome) is a disorder caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21.
An abnormal condition that a person inherits through the chromosomes or genes is a genetic disorder.
no they do not
A carrier is a person who carries a gene(most-likely for a genetic disorder) but do not have the trait controlled by the gene.
Both types of neurofibromatosis are an autosomal dominant genetic disorder which means an affected person has a 1 in 2 chance of passing it on in each pregnancy. Neurofibromatosis also can be the result of a mutation in the genetic material of the sperm or egg at conception even if families have no previous history of NF. About half of cases are inherited, and the other half are due to spontaneous genetic mutation
Neurofibromatosis - is a genetic condition... nota communicable disease. You cannot 'catch' it from a sufferer by way of intercourse with an affected person.
how is it possible for a person to have dominant genetic disorder? how is it possible for a person to have dominant genetic disorder?
genotype
WOW!! That guy is amazing. A chicken? Histerical, Neurofibromatosis affects only chromosome number 23. It also will affect the brain and is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder.It is when your chromosome has a chicken.

As it is one of the most varied genetic disorders person to person, you can never say. How ever alot of people live a long and healthy life with nf, as i have :)

It is a genetic disease. Hemophilia is a genetic blood disorder. The person with this disorder has blood that doesn't clot as it should. It is not caused by a bacteria, virus or a protist.
