What do slashes mean in sex linked traits?
In sex-linked traits, slashes are used to designate the sex of an individual and the genotype for a specific trait. For example, in females with two X chromosomes and a recessive allele for a trait, the genotype would be represented as X^bX^b (affected) or X^BX^b (carrier). In males, the genotype is represented with just one X chromosome, as in X^bY (affected) or X^BY (unaffected).
If someone is a heterozygous carrier of the tay-sachs gene what is their genotype?
if someone is a Heterozygous carrier of Tay-Sachs they would have to be Tt. Because TT is Homozygous.
What is genotype AS SS AAA?
You cannot do a cross to determine the genotypes of individuals because there is only one gene here. Genotype consists of the entire genetic makeup of the individual, which cannot be determined by a single gene. Only the alleles S or s is used to express this particular gene. If you're looking for a monohybrid cross between Ss and Ss, while separately wanting a result between ss and ss, then the answers are as follows: Ss x Ss 25% SS 50% Ss 25% ss ss x ss = 100% ss
What is the name of blood test that says you are 'AA' or 'AS or'SS'?
The blood test is called a hemoglobin electrophoresis test, which is used to determine an individual's hemoglobin genotype. A result of 'AA' indicates normal hemoglobin, 'AS' indicates sickle cell trait (carrier), and 'SS' indicates sickle cell disease.
Hemophilia is a sex linked recessive disorder Mary does not have the disease but both of her brothers do Neither of her parents have the disease What are Marys parents genotypes indicates pr?
Mary's father is normal and has a normal genotype XY while her mother is the carrier of hemophilia and has one X of her genotype infected i.e. she is X*X.
How is carrier different from a person that has a disorder?
The carrier typically remains unaffected by the disorder.
What is the genotype of a carrier?
Rr heterozygous
You can be a carrier of a recessive gene as part of your?
You can be a carrier of a recessive gene as part of your genotype.

What is true of a woman with the genotype?
She is a carrier of hemophilia but does not have the condition
Why is the genotype heterozygous also known as a hybrid or carrier?
A genotype that is heterozygous means an individual has two different alleles for a particular gene. This can result in a mix of traits or characteristics, earning the term "hybrid" from the blending of genetic information. In cases where one allele is dominant and the other recessive, the individual may not exhibit the recessive trait but can pass it on to offspring, hence being referred to as a "carrier."
What is the genotype of an individual with albinism?
I think no. It's caused by a recessive gene so if a person has albinism their genotype can only be recessive, recessive ---> AA (small a small a or whatever you call it). No other genotype will mean that person has Albinism, like if it has at least one big A, that means it's just a carrier of albinism.
What is a punnett square for cystic fibrosis?
A Punnett square for cystic fibrosis would involve crossing two parents who are carriers of the recessive allele for the disease (denoted as "cf"). The square would show the probability of having a child with cystic fibrosis (25%), a carrier (50%), or unaffected by the disease (25%). Each parent would have a genotype of "Cf" (carrier) for the Punnett square.
How can you tell if someone is a carrier?
If their genotype contains both a dominant and a recessive allele for a trait.
An individual with a recessive allele for an undesirable trait is called?
A carrier. This individual may not show the undesirable trait, but can pass on the recessive allele to their offspring.
Is a heterozygous individual a carrier?
What is a heterzygous individual?
If someone is a heterozygous carrier of the tay-sachs gene what is their genotype?
if someone is a Heterozygous carrier of Tay-Sachs they would have to be Tt. Because TT is Homozygous.
