Is hemophilia a dominantrecessiv or a sex linked trait?
Sexlinked and recessive.
Is color blindness a dominant or a recessive trait?
Color blindness is a recessive sex linked trait.
If a genetic defect is cause by a recessive alleles how can potential parents determine the likelihood that they carry the allele?
Genetic testing
Recessive disorder that results from the absence of an enzyme that converts one amino acid into another one?
Huntington's disease
How do you know if a gene is X- linked?
X linked diseases when recessive are only present in female children when both parents have the disease. If the mother is only a carrier of the disease then each male child would have a 50% probability of having the disease, but no female children would be affected (50% would be carriers). Hemophilia is an example of a recessive X linked genetic defect: http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=hemophilia&gwp=13

Sexlinked and recessive.
Is it true that sexlinked recessive disorders are most often passed from mothers to sons?
true
Is color blindness a dominant or a recessive trait?
Color blindness is a recessive sex linked trait.
What is the basic defect for Diabetes type 1?
autosomal recessive
What has the disadvantage of bringing two recessive alleles together and causing a genetic defect?
Inbreeding
What kind of defect is CGD?
recessive defect meaning that both copies of the chromosome must have the defect before it can be expressed. Females who have one X chromosome without the defect do not get this disease. Males, since they only have one X chromosome, get the disease
How long do chocolate Bastin Homing pigeons live?
Chocolate is a regional name used by racing pigeon breeders for a recessive opal pigeon. All racing pigeons can live up to about 12-15 years with a rare number of them living to about 20. And even though you didn't specifically ask this, recessive opal is a non-sexlinked (autosomal) recessive.
If a genetic defect is cause by a recessive alleles how can potential parents determine the likelihood that they carry the allele?
Genetic testing
Why are men more likely than women to be colorblind?
Yes. Because the colorblind trait is a sexlinked trait and is found in the X chromosome that is inherited from the mother, men that only have one X chromosome will develop colorblindness if the trait is found in this gene. For a woman to get it, she would need to have the colorblind gene on both x chromosomes. Therefore the girl´s dad would have to be colorblind and the mother at least a carrier.
What are sexlinked genes?
Genes that are location on the sex chromosomes.
How common is morquio syndrome?
Morquio's Syndrome is a rare, usually inherited disease. The chances of getting this autosomal recessive birth defect is 1 in 200,000.
What causes Wolman's disease?
Wolman's disease is caused by a genetic defect (with a recessive pattern of inheritance) that results in deficiency of an enzyme that breaks down cholesterol.
