Are dimples autosomal or sex linked?
They are autosomal because it is a trait a phenotype.
Is it true that a defective allele always recessive and a normal allele always dominant?
No. The gene that causes Huntington's is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation, and one form of inherited Parkinson's is also caused by an autosomal dominant mutation.
Morphological expression of a gene?
Phenotype
Does FAP follow a recessive or dominant inheritance pattern and why?
FAP follows both an autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant pattern depending on which gene you inherit the disease from. If inherited through the APC gene, which is most common, it is autosomal gdthe disease. If inherited through the MUTYH gene it is autosomal recessive, meaning that both parents were carriers of the disease or they both were living with the disease.
Is CF X-linked or incomplete dominance?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder, not an X-linked disorder. It means that both copies of the gene responsible for CF need to be mutated in order to develop the disorder. Incomplete dominance refers to a genetic trait where the heterozygous condition results in an intermediate phenotype, which is not the case for CF.
Name two factors that determine the phenotype of a trait?
genes
Are dimples autosomal or sex linked?
They are autosomal because it is a trait a phenotype.
Is cystics fibrosis is caused by a mutation that is the dominant alle of a gene?
No, cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder.
What is an autosomal dominant trait?
When the gene is dominant and the traits are autosomal.
Is it true that a defective allele always recessive and a normal allele always dominant?
No. The gene that causes Huntington's is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation, and one form of inherited Parkinson's is also caused by an autosomal dominant mutation.
Is having an autosomal sex-linked gene possible?
No, a gene is either autosomal or sex-linked, but never both.
Autosomal dominant genetic disorder?
An autosomal genetic disorder is Huntington's disease.
What it Autosomal recessive?
gene that is not strong
What term is used for an organism that has a particular gene that has a particular gene but does not show its effects?
phenotype
What could cause a mutant fly embryo to develop two tail ends but no head?
This is called bicoid mutant phenotype, and is caused by a maternal effect gene which is a gene that, when mutant in the mother, results in a mutant phenotype of the offspring regardless of the offspring's genotype.
Is angelman syndrome autosomal?
"Autosomal" means the syndrome or disorder of interest is pertaining to a chromosome that is not a sex chromosome, either X or Y. Angelman and Prader-Willi Syndrome are both caused by a deletion (or disruption of a gene) on chromosome 15, which is an autosomal chromosome and not a sex chromosome. Therefore, yes, Angelman syndrome is considered an autosomal syndrome.
Is the genotype the outward expression of a gene?
NO NO NO!!!!!a genotype refers to the actual makeup of the gene, as in the type of alleleuppercase refer to dominant genes, lowercase refer to recessive genesan expressed gene regardless of whether it is dominant or recessive is expressed in the PHENOTYPE which is the physical traits observable caused by the genotypePhenotype is what your question should be changed to and then your answer will be yes
