It can be passed on geneticaly- but can occur in infants who's parent's do not have cleft palates (they can posses the gene without having in physical signs of it). In developed countries, cleft palates can be easily fixed after birth with surgery. One in every 600 to 800 infants are born with cleft palates. It is very fixable, and therefore no reason to not have children.

Can a baby be born with blood type A or O if father is blood type A dominant and mother is blood type O dominant?

The baby can be born with either. My father is Type A and my mother is O. I'm A, and my brother is O. It is possible that it will complicate the pregnancy though. The baby can be born with either. My father is Type A and my mother is O. I'm A, and my brother is O. It is possible that it will complicate the pregnancy though.


If a man carries a harmful sex-linked gene in his X chromosome who will he pass this on to?

He will pass this harmful sex-linked gene on to his daughters. Sons will inherit their Y chromosome from their father, not his X chromosome.


If the mom is gray and if the male is brown then does that mean that if there was a baby that was gray does that mean it is a girl and if the baby is brown then does that mean the baby will be a boy?

No, it does not. Your parents pass on 50% of your DNA each through the chromosomes in the sex cells (egg and sperm). Depending on which gene is the more dominant, either the 'Grey Eye Gene' or the 'Brown Eye Gene' will determine the ultimate eye colour of the baby (majority of babies eye colour changes after a couple of weeks). The gender of the baby depends on whether both parents have passed on an 'X' chromosome, or whether one (believed to be the father) has passed on a 'Y' Chromosome. It is not related to the same gene that causes eye colour. My sister and I have Blue Eyes, inherited from my father as his gene was more dominant in that area in the DNA passed to us. My brother, from the same two parents, has Brown Eyes inherited from my mother, who in that instance had the more dominant gene.


Which blood types cannot produce a child with blood type o?

Several ways, and here is why. First, some definitions. PHENOTYPE is how the trait is physically displayed in the person, so a person's blood type is actually their phenotype. GENOTYPE is the pair of genes that a person carries that determines their phenotype. A RECESSIVE gene is one "trumped" by a DOMINANT gene in the genotype; for blood typing, O is the recessive gene and A and B are dominant. For a person to show the recessive phenotype, they must carry BOTH recessive genes. So, in order for the baby to be type O it must carry two O genes and have genotype "OO". The baby will inherit one gene from the mother and one from the father and, as explained above, both must be O genes. Obviously, a parent with type O blood will pass on an O gene, this is all they can do. But there is also a chance a parent with type A or type B blood can pass on an O gene. This is because a parent with genotype AO will be type A (remember, the A gene is DOMINANT) but can still pass on the O gene. Same with a parent having genotype BO. Only a parent with AB blood cannot have a type O child since they must pass on the A or B gene (in other words, they have no O gene to give).


What are all the possible combinations of alleles that each F1 parent can pass on to the offspring?

Each parent can pass on one of two alleles for each gene to their offspring. This results in four possible combinations: A-B, A-b, a-B, and a-b, where A and a represent alleles from one gene and B and b represent alleles from another gene.

Will a baby be born with marfan syndrome if father has it?

There is a 50% chance that the baby will have Marfan. The father might pass on the gene that has the Marfan mutation, or he might pass on the gene that does not. Each child you have together has a 50% chance.


Can a white mother and a mixed father have a white baby?

Yes it is possible. The caucasian mother will have two genes that restrict melanin production in the skin and the mixed father will have one gene that restricts melanin production. Since the baby will get one copy of the gene from each parent, the mother will obviously pass on the gene that restricts melanin production. The father will either pass on the restricting gene or the non-restricting gene. If the father also passes on a copy of the restricting gene then the baby will be caucasian. If the father does not pass on the restricting gene, the baby will have a darker skin color.


Can a b positive and a o nagitive have a a positive baby?

Yes. An O neg parent can only pass on an O Blood Group gene and a Rhesus Negative gene. A B pos parent can potentially pass on a B or an O Blood Group gene and potentially a Rhesus negative or positive gene. Statistically your baby would have a 75% chance of being a B blood group and 25% of being an O. Also, 75% likely to be a positive baby and 25% likely to be a negative baby.


Can Brown eyed dad and blue eyed mom make a blue eyed baby?

yes. if the dad has 1 recessive blue gene and 1 dominant brown gene then he can either pass on the blue gene or the brown gene.


Can an B positive mother and an O positive father have A positive baby?

No: cause neiter parent caries the gene for A blood type, it would be imposible to pass on that gene.


Can an A positive mother and B positive father have an O positive baby?

No: cause neiter parent caries the gene for A blood type, it would be imposible to pass on that gene.


How do you get rid of brainfeeze?

Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth. It will warm the palate and help the brainfreeze to pass.


If a woman with blood type A has a baby with blood type AB a man with blood type O be the father?

Yes, it is possible for a woman with blood type A to have a baby with blood type AB if the father has blood type O. This is because blood type O is a recessive trait, so the father can pass on the gene for blood type A and the gene for blood type B to the baby.


What is the likelihood of having a brown eyed baby if both mother and father are blond and blue eyed?

Zero. Blue eyes come from a recessive gene (brown eyes come from a dominant gene). So two blue-eyed parents have only blue-eye genes in them. Therefore, they can pass only blue-eye genes to their baby.

A pink snapdragon has two genes that determine its color there is a white gene W and a red gene R the parent snapdragons only pass along one gene for color to an offspring What color will offspring be?

If the parent snapdragons pass along a white gene (W) to the offspring, then the offspring will be white. If the parent snapdragons pass along a red gene (R) to the offspring, then the offspring will be red.
