It's an autosomal dominant disease. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achondroplasia
Polydactyly is typically autosomal, meaning it is not linked to the sex chromosomes. However, in some rare cases, polydactyly can be part of a sex-linked genetic disorder.
Progeria is neither autosomal nor sex-linked. It is caused by a spontaneous mutation in the LMNA gene, which is located on chromosome 1.
Huntington's disease is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning that only one copy of the mutated gene is needed to develop the disorder. It is not linked to sex chromosomes.
These are called sex linked genes since they are on the genes that code for sex.
Pedigrees for autosomal genes can be inherited by both males and females equally, whereas pedigrees for sex-linked genes are usually passed from carrier females to affected males. Autosomal pedigrees show a more even distribution of affected individuals between genders, while sex-linked pedigrees often exhibit a higher prevalence of affected males due to the gene being located on the X chromosome.
Autosomal
Polydactyly is typically autosomal, meaning it is not linked to the sex chromosomes. However, in some rare cases, polydactyly can be part of a sex-linked genetic disorder.
autosomal.
Autosomal dominant
No, a gene is either autosomal or sex-linked, but never both.
It is ex linked.
Sex-linked and Recessive
Progeria is neither autosomal nor sex-linked. It is caused by a spontaneous mutation in the LMNA gene, which is located on chromosome 1.
No, it is autosomal dominant.
Tay-sachs is autosomal.
sex-linked genes are differ from autosomal from pedigrees because they both have different affects from pedigrees
Albinism is a recessive, autosomal trait. So no, it is not sex-linked.
