Tay-Sachs is an autosomal (not sex linked) recessive disorder which has no effects at birth but leads to blindness, paralysis, mental retardation and death by three to four years of age.

Is lobster claw syndrome dominant or recessive?

Lobster claw syndrome, or Ectrodactyly, is a rare genetic condition caused by a mutation in the TP63 gene, which is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. This means that only one copy of the mutated gene is needed to display the syndrome.


What is an organism that has a dominant and a recessive copy of a gene?

dogs have a dominant and a recessive copy of a gene


What gene will exhibit its traits even in a prensesce of a recessive gene?

A dominant gene will exhibit its traits even in the presence of a recessive gene. This is because the dominant gene masks the expression of the recessive gene when present in the same individual.


Is a situation in which a dominant allele completely masks a recessive allele for a gene.?

If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.


How many copies of a recessive gene does it take to overpower a dominant gene?

It takes 8 copies of a recessive gene to overpeower dominant gene


Genes that are only seen when paired with a recessive gene?

if u have a recessive gene with a recessive gene then u can see the recessive gene but if you have a dominant gene with a recessive gene you can only see the dominant gene hope that helps:)


A gene is recessive when?

Most genes have two copies of each gene with dominant gene "trumping" the recessive one. The gene is recessive because it is said not to do much of anything unless paired with another recessive gene, but if paired with a dominant gene, the dominant gene wins.


Can two dominant genes equal a recessive gene?

it could but then u would be deformed but usually it cant


Can a recissive gene be dominant?

No, a recessive gene cannot be dominant. In genetics, dominant genes are expressed over recessive genes when present in an individual's genotype. This means that if a gene is recessive, it will only be expressed if an individual inherits two copies of that specific recessive gene.


Can a recessive gene be hidden from a dominant?

The dominant gene will always "cover up" the recessive gene, although there are instances of codominance, in which both phenotypes will be displayed, because one gene is not completely dominant over the other. There is also what is called 'incomplete dominance', when the actual phenotype is somewhere between the two.


Is waardenburg syndrome caused by a dominant or recessive allele?

Waardenburg syndrome is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning that only one copy of the mutated gene is needed to develop the condition. However, there are rare cases where it can be inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, requiring two copies of the mutated gene.


The weaker of two genes is called what?

The weaker of two genes is called the recessive gene. In the presence of a dominant gene, the recessive gene is not expressed in the organism's phenotype.
