What else can I help you with?
Who is affected achondroplasia?
The offspring of the parents are affected
How might how might a scientist determine whether a trait is sex link by observing the offspring of several genetic crosses?
By observing the proportion of affected offspring and whether males or females are more affected.
Mutations in body cells can be passed on to offspring of the affected individual?
No. As long as the mutation does not occur in the reproductive cells (sperms or ovum), it will not be pass on to the offspring.
How is Sandoff disease passed on in families?
an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that having an affected offspring requires both unaffected parents to be carriers. Parents who carry the disorder will have a 25% risk of having an affected offspring in subsequent pregnancies.
How might a scientist determine whether a trait is sex linked by observing the offspring of several genetic crosses?
By observing the proportion of affected offspring and whether males or females are more affected.
A female rat is exposed to X-rays Its future offspring will be affected only if a mutation occurs in which cell?
sex cells
Does the size of a dog affect the number of puppies there is in a litter?
Yes it does. If a dog has a litter the puppies, the litter and size of offspring affected.
A basketball player develops speed and power as a result of practice This athletic ability will not be passed on to her offspring because?
Base sequences in DNA are not affected by this activity.
What is the target tissue that is affected by the somatic tissue?
The target tissue affected by somatic mutations is the body's non-reproductive cells, including those in organs, muscles, and connective tissue. These mutations are not passed on to offspring as they do not affect germ cells.
What is the inheritance pattern to Marfan Syndrome?
Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder. An affected person has a 50% chance of passing it on to each offspring, regardless of gender.
Can a man pass thalassemia to offspring?
Yes, a man can pass thalassemia to his offspring if he carries a gene for the disorder. Thalassemia is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that a child must inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to be affected. If the man has one copy of the thalassemia gene, he can pass it to his child, who may then be a carrier or affected if the other parent also carries the gene.
Would a skin cell mutation on your hand affect your offspring?
No, a mutation in a skin cell on your hand would not affect your offspring because mutations in somatic cells (like skin cells) are not passed on to the next generation. Offspring inherit genetic information from germ cells (sperm and egg cells) which are not affected by mutations in somatic cells.
