Yes, sickle cell anemia is considered a codominant trait in genetic inheritance.
What else can I help you with?
The allele for the sickle cell trait is what with the normal allele?
The allele for the sickle cell trait is codominant with the normal allele. This means that in individuals with both alleles present, both traits are expressed.
Is a genetic disorder characterized by production of abnormal hemoglobin?
Yes, sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder characterized by production of abnormal hemoglobin. This abnormal hemoglobin causes red blood cells to change shape, leading to various health issues including anemia, pain crises, and organ damage.
Is sickle cell anemia inherited as a dominant or recessive trait, and how does this inheritance pattern impact the likelihood of developing the condition?
Sickle cell anemia is inherited as a recessive trait. This means that a person needs to inherit two copies of the sickle cell gene (one from each parent) to develop the condition. If only one copy of the gene is inherited, the person is a carrier but does not have the disease. This inheritance pattern impacts the likelihood of developing the condition because both parents must be carriers for there to be a chance of their child having sickle cell anemia.
What are some easy genetic disorders to research and understand?
Some easy genetic disorders to research and understand include Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and sickle cell anemia. These disorders have well-documented genetic causes and symptoms that are relatively straightforward to comprehend.
This pedigree is for a human genetic disease called sickle cell anemia. Assuming that the allele for the disease is recessive how many of the females shown have the disease?
None. =]
Why is sickle cell anemia a form of codominent inheritance?
To the best of my knowledge it is NOT codominant, but rather a simple autosomal recessive disorder. It may also be considered intermediate inheritance (a.k.a. incomplete dominance or overdominance) as heterozygotes are to an extent deficient in normal haemoglobin A production, only they usually do not show any clinical symptoms (and are protected from malaria as a bonus).
What is the medical term meaning abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes?
There are many abnormal conditions that can result from genetic inheritance, such as Sickle Cell Anemia.
The allele for the sickle cell trait is what with the normal allele?
The allele for the sickle cell trait is codominant with the normal allele. This means that in individuals with both alleles present, both traits are expressed.
Is Sickle cell anemia genetic?
Yes, Sickle Cell Anemia is in fact a genetic disorder.
Is sickle cell anemia genetic or environmental?
Sickle cell anemia is genetic. It is an autosomal recessive disease.
What is the inheritance of the sickle cell anemia?
autosomal recessive
The genetic disorder sickle-cell anemia is an example of?
Well, its a genetic disorder that is most common among African Americans. It is when red blood cells are C shaped. It's an example of a problem It is an example of pleiotropy.
What is the mode of inheritance for sickle-cell anemia?
autosomal recessive
Compare the inheritance of Huntingtons disease with the inheritance of sickle cell anemia?
Huntingtons disease is Autosomal dominant, i.e. a 50% chance of inheritance if one parent has the gene. Where as sickle cell anemia is autosomal recessive. This gives a 25% chance of inheritance if both parents are carriers.
Which form of anemia is a genetic disorder?
It sounds like you are looking for Sickle Cell Anemia.
How do you ge sickle cell anemia?
You get Sickle-Cell Anemia by Birth,it is a genetic disorder.
Sickle cell anemia is an example of what type of inheritance?
polygenic inheritance . doug says " squirrel". hes a fat dog.
