Is cystic fibrosis a dominant or co-dominant disorder?
It is autosomal recessive and it is not a disorder! Cystic Fibrosis is a disease.
A person who has inherited the autosomal recessive disorder called?
A person who has inherited an autosomal recessive disorder will have two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent. This results in the individual expressing the disorder. Symptoms can vary depending on the specific disorder.
Who does a male inherit an autosomal recessive disorder from?
A male can inherit an autosomal recessive disorder from both of his carrier parents, who each pass down a copy of the mutated gene. This results in the male having two copies of the mutated gene, leading to the manifestation of the disorder.
Is the maple syrup disease sex-linked?
Yes, maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, not a sex-linked disorder. It is caused by mutations in genes on autosomal chromosomes, which both males and females can inherit equally.
How does someone get an autosomal recessive disorder such as Tay Sachs?
You must inherit two recessive alleles, one from each parent.
Is sickle cell disease a chromosomal abnormality?
sickle cell is an autosomal recessive disorder
Is galactosemia sex-linked?
No, it is a genetic metabolic disorder.
Is sickle cell an dominant or recessive?
Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disorder. It can result from two carriers having a child together.
Cystic fibrosis autosomal dominant?
hey I'm not positive but I believe that Cystic Fibrosis is autosomal. My reasonning for this is that there seems to be an equal number of females that have cystic fibrosis as there are males. I AM NOT POSITIVE.
What is the difference between an autosomal recessive disorder and an autosomal dominant disorder?
An autosomal recessive disorder requires two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) for an individual to express the condition, meaning carriers with only one copy typically do not show symptoms. In contrast, an autosomal dominant disorder only requires one copy of the mutated gene for an individual to manifest the disorder, so affected individuals can have one affected parent or can be a new mutation. This fundamental difference in inheritance patterns affects the likelihood of passing on the disorder and its prevalence in the population.
Is cystics fibrosis is caused by a mutation that is the dominant alle of a gene?
No, cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder.
Is cystic fibrosis an autosomal disease?
Yes, cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease.
