well, I am in a sophmore Biology class and learned today the answer to your question. One disorder would be colorblindness. Colorblindness is most common in males because in order to have to disorder you must carry two mutated x chromosomes. The mother would have to carry the mutated chromosome because the male only has one and in order for the offspring to receive 2 mutated x chromosoms the mother will obviously need to be carrying it as well as the father. Another recessive genetic dissorder you can get is called "Hemophilia." This is a disorder in which the genes for hemoglobin are not present, and your body is not able to create blood clots and a simple scratch can be very serious. It can be treated with injections of clotting protiens. HOPE THIS HELPS

The name of the gene pair that consists of a dominant and recessive allele, i.e. (Xx) will be a heterozygous allele. In this situation, the characteristics of the dominant characteristic will mask that of the recessive allele. People have have a heterozygous genotype may be carriers for diseases that reside on the recessive allele.
Gg G=dominant trait g=recessive trait
Yes.A homozygous genotype is a gene with two identical alleles. Recessive genes are represented by a lowercase letter. Thus, a homozygous recessive genotype would be two identical genes with lowercase letters.
An example of a homozygous recessive genetic disorder is the eye color. the dominant eye color is brown but a homozygous recessive genetic disorder it's haze;, blue, gray, etc.
1/2 or 50%. The homozygous recessive gentoype contains two recessive alleles for the gene for a trait. So the homozygous recessive individual can pass on only recessive alleles to an offspring. The heterozygous individual has one dominant and one recessive allele for the gene for a trait. So the heterozygous individual can pass on either a dominant or a recessive allele to an offspring. So if an offspring inherits a recessive allele from the heterozygous parent, along with the recessive allele from the homozygous recessive parent, it will have the homozygous recessive genotype and phenotype.

There are two forms of Homozygous inheritance: Homozygous Dominant, and Homozygous Recessive. In order for two parents that are Homozygous to produce a Heterozygous offspring, one of them MUST be Homozygous Dominant, and the other MUST be Homozygous Recessive.

heterozygous recessive
Every gene has a dominant and recessive allele, homozygous is just when a gene has either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
A gene pair that consists of 2 dominant or 2 recessive alleles is considered homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive.

x-linked recessive chromosome.
Two recessive alleles (homozygous) will result in the recessive trait being expressed as a phenotype.
It would be heterozygous because the two alleles are different (one dominant and one recessive). EE would be homozygous dominant and ee would be homozygous recessive.
