Compare the inheritance of Huntingtons disease with the inheritance of sickle cell anemia?
Huntingtons disease is Autosomal dominant, i.e. a 50% chance of inheritance if one parent has the gene. Where as sickle cell anemia is autosomal recessive. This gives a 25% chance of inheritance if both parents are carriers.
Is sickle cell anemia inherited as a dominant or recessive trait, and how does this inheritance pattern impact the likelihood of developing the condition?
Sickle cell anemia is inherited as a recessive trait. This means that a person needs to inherit two copies of the sickle cell gene (one from each parent) to develop the condition. If only one copy of the gene is inherited, the person is a carrier but does not have the disease. This inheritance pattern impacts the likelihood of developing the condition because both parents must be carriers for there to be a chance of their child having sickle cell anemia.
